For the Simon Says Stamp Christmas cards challenge.
The video for it is coming on Thursday, but I wanted to share the card early for the challenge.
I masked off the snowbank with masking paper. I've used the My Favorite Things Snowdrift die to cut the shape.
Then inkblended Distress Oxides (Dusty Concord, Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire).
Splattered the panel with Liquid Stardust from Lawn Fawn for some gorgeous shimmer.
the images and sentiment are from C.C. Designs...Tiny Winter and I've colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, adhered them on the cardbase with foamtape.

This fortnight our challenge is along the edge and the optional twist is time travel.
My fault as I chose this topic ;-)

For my card I made a galaxy of sorts with finger daubers and Distress inks. I splattered white ink on top for my stars. It's not how I usually do my galaxies but as it's along the edge of my card it's very topical and most of it will be covered. I have included another card I made last year, but that is not at all CAS as we like as AAA cards, so I confined the universe to the side.
The sentiment and images are from Kindred Stamps' Time traveler set. I stamped them with My Favorite Things Extreme black onto Talens
Ecoline printer paper, very thin for watercoloring, but super for my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.
I cut out the images and mounted them with foamtape, to make them more sturdy.
I think this is the David Tennant Dr Who and he used to wear everything brown, I tried to match his outfit to the background as well as I could with my 24 piece set (there's no purple in it p.e.)
Placed them along the galaxy as if, they're flying through space.

Well a slanted village in the snow haha, I was paying more attention to the height of the hill, I didn't even notice the houses are a little slanted...so don't look at that ;-)
The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: Lets sparkle, showcasing Brutus Monroe ( I have none yet, one is coming in the mail anyday...)
The Simon Say Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Traditional Christmas, showcasing Tim Holtz.
For my Card I used Tim Holtz Distress oxides and a Sizzix die for the word Christmas.
The village is from Your Next Stamp (houses on the hill) and the Merry is from My Favorite Things (partially stamped from Bitty Holiday Wishes set)
I've inkblended the cardbase with Oxides:
Tumbled glass, Broken china, Mermaid lagoon, Faded Jeans, Chipped sapphire.
I've then splattered the cardbase with Distress spray stains, Brushed pewter and picket fence. I've also splattered some Liquid Stardust from Lawn Fawn, I mean the challenge is Sparkle and Christmas , right ;-)
Stamped the Merry with Versafine Clair ink, then mounted the panel with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.
I've stacked 4 or 5 layers of the word Christmas for a tone on tone look, but I thought the raised edges would cast shadows, a little nod to Rudolph with the red tittle (dot on the i).
For me a classic Christmas was when we had snow every year. That seems a long time ago. Thanks to global heating we now have dreary wet drizzly rainy days...Snow at Christmas seems a thing of the past.

I'm honoured to be the guest designer over at AAA Birthday Challenges, a sister challenge born from the AAA Challenges, but only for Birthday Cards, any style. I'm a CAS lady though, so...
The theme this month is: Balloon and or banners and I went with balloons.
I've used a Conie Fong digi (Tori the Dragon), I've printed the sentiment whilst in Photoshop prepping the digi and then printed it with my laserprinter and coloured it with Talens Ecoline a fluid watercolor medium.
Added the watercolor paper panel to a cardbase with taperunner.
