Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your crafty makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Here are my cards for the challenge inspiration. I used Quiet Christmas Set from Hello Bluebird. 

Card No.1

I started  by stamping Quiet Christmas Set on 80lb Neenah White paper using Memento Black Ink, then I colored the images using my Copic Markers.

It was midnight when I was making this , I couldn't use my Scan N Cut because everybody was sleeping and I didn't want to delay my works to another day. I wish I could have bought the Coordinating Dies set, but it had been always out of stock,  reflecting the huge popularity of this set. So fussy cutting was the best I could do, lols. 

For the background, I used one of my Mod Trees panels I had made for SSS October 2018 Release Blog Hop. I ink blended a piece of Bristol paper with Distress inks , Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio, splatteted water, and then stamped Mod Trees with similar colors of dye inks. I then splattered white acrylic ink to express snow.

I cut two pieces of side panel using Gingham 6×6, and Stitched Borders 1 die set. Bottom hill was made using Wavy Scallop Stitches Dies and white card stock.

Then I used foam tapes , Glue Dots and glue to assemble a christmas scene. I stamped a sentiment from Winter Scene set using Versafine Onyx Black, then cut it into a fishtail tag using Stitched Banners Dies. Finished off the card by adding Sparkling Clear Snowflakes.

Card No. 2

Since I adored the lovely images from Quiet Christmas Set so much , I couldn't stop stamping and coloring them, ending up with this second card! Used 80lb Neenah White, Memento Black Ink, Copic Markers and White pen.

I trimmed the panel with Wonky Rectangles Dies and added sentiment from Christmas Wishes set, which was heat embossed in white on Schoolhouse Red card stock. I added Silver Glitter Mat behind the sentiment piece. Finally I foam mounted the panel onto Fog Gray Card Base.

So now it’s YOUR turn. 
 Happy Crafting
