Caffeinated Christmas Challenge July 24: Stars

Hello my caffeinated crafty friends!

This month I knew quickly what to make for the

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge Blog.

The theme this month is STARS.

This is my finished card with an image from

JessicaLynnOriginals - it is Brentwood!

He always appears when there is a Coffeelovers

blog hop.

For my card I used the new Distress SPRITZ

Tim Holtz just brought out. These have a wonderful

glimmer. I made the background with a star stencil.

I also used it on the image and some gold

(fossilized amber) on the sentiment.

It is a pity you cannot really see it.

Here a close up! I cut out  some stars and added

those on Brentwood and the cup on top of the hearts 

which were in the original digital stamp.

Thank you for looking and have a

wonderful caffeinated creative day!

quite some work, but seeing the result, I think it was

well worth doing this.

Caffinated Christmas Challenge July: STARS

 

Hello Caffinated Crafty Friends!

It is a very hot day in The Netherlands today, so to keep cool I sit in my craftroom with the airconditioner on making Christmas cards! The challenge this month is to add stars. You find the original post HERE.

For my card I used Tim Holtz stamps:

I used thecoffee mug from the  mini bluepint 9 CMS235.

I stamped it for the background and wmbossed it in white.

Colored the background next with Distress Oxide Ink Mowed Lawn.

The embossing powder resists the ink. I stamped one seprately and 

colored it with distress ink and a water pen. The star is from the 

mini blueprints 2 CMS146 and the square and sentiment is

from the new Note Quotes CMS463.

The Season Greetings is from Great Outdoors CMS321.

Small star punch for the stars on the cups.

I liked making this background so much,

that I was inspired to make my4th of July card likewise.

On the stars I added some Nuvo glitter drops.

Thank you very much for looking

and hope you have a wonderful Caffinated Summer!
