Month long Christmas Challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges



This is one of my projects for our month long Christmas Challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges. 

I used an image from one of our sponsors, QKR Stampede. The image is called  Caroling Snowman .


Here is a closer look.


I used an old book cover for my base of my wall hanging and covered it with burlap that I  painted white and blue. I added strips of glittered paper for the snow on the ground, Tim Holtz pine trees that I painted with white acrylic paint.  I added my caroling snowman that I coloured with Copics and a few glitter pens. I made the hanger out of a piece of wire from a stash in my husband's shop. To complete the hanging I added a large snowflake die. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join in our Christmas Challenge this month at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge.

Clear It Out Challenge at Come and Get It

It is a "clear it out" challenge  (use an item from your stash) at Come and Get It this week.  I have two cards to bring to you from our sponsors this week. 


The first card I used an image from QKR Stampede, one of our sponsors this week. The image is called Kickin' It, I think it is such a cute image. 

QKR

I coloured the image with Copic markers then made the rest of the card out of papers and findings from my stash. The textured kraft paper is from my friends trash, a piece of paper her glass had been wrapped in. The sentiment was created on my computer and I thought it went great with the image.  

My second card is by our other great sponsor Sentimental Susan and the image I used is called Beach Day.
