Blessed Christmas Paper Players Challenge PP571 Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC272

 December 12, 2021

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps 

The lovely LeAnne is the hostess at The Paper Players  this week.  She has a fabulous color challenge for all of us.  It is just perfect for the holidays.  It is the last challenge of the year, too.

The Sunday Stamps Challenge is an amazing sketch by Heather.   It was so easy to combine these two challenges this week! 


 Sketch by Heather




My card is created on a white card base.  I found this fabulous tree DSP in my stash for the background.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Believe in the Season stamp/die set.  I stamped the rectangle panel with Merry Merlot ink on Merry Merlot card stock.  I heat embossed the deer in gold and edged the oval with Versa Mark and embossed the oval with gold embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment from the same set and embossed it with gold powder, too.  I added twine and gold gems to complete my card.

  2. Awesome card, Claire! I LOVE the addition of the banner as it really makes it festive! I have so enjoyed my time with all of you as a guest designer, and I am so sad to see it come to an end. I will be back in the gallery again as a patron when I have the chance. Take care and thanks for your kindness! Happy Holidays too!

  5. That majestic deer shines in gold! Love all the gold accents as well! And that border strip is way cool and reminds me of a cool woven tapestry wall hanging! Thanks for all your sweet comments over the past year! I've really enjoyed stamping with you and getting to know the whole team! You'll definitely see me in the gallery in 2022! Have a Merry Christmas!
