Hello everyone, and welcome to the ABC Christmas Challenges April challenge.
I am hosting this time and I have a little prize for the winner This challenge runs from 10th April to 4th May and we are covering two alphabet letters this time.
The Christmas/December/Winter holidays themes this time round are:
'H is for Hats'
and
'I is for Inky'
These are my offerings:-
H for hats
For this card, I used the cute Crafter's Companion penguin die, and cut 2 of them, decorating their hats and scarfs in different colours. I stood them in little ice flows from the MFT Polar Pals stamp set and the lower sentiment came from the same set. The background was created by blending a couple of blue inks and adding some splatter.
and I for Inky
I blended several blue inks for this one and then used the Memory Box Pinpoint Burst Impression Plate to add texture. I sprayed the panel with Crafter's Companion Sparkle Spray and although it isn't showing up well in the photos, it looks pretty IRL. The added white splatter was made with watered-down Gouache paint.The image was stamped with the Penny Black Sleigh Ride stamp set and coloured with Zig Clear Colour Pens. I fussy cut the image and added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to Rudolph's nose.
The Design Team has lots of inspiration over on the ABC blog, and I look forward to seeing your entries if you decide to join us this time.
I hope you are all safe and warm and that Storm Kathleen, which has been buffeting us here today as I write this, hasn't had a big impact on you.
