"Scraptastic Monday"

Hello Whimsical crafters. It is time for another Scraptasic Challenge with Cindy. Today we had to make a Christmas card but could not use the colors Green, Red, or Gold. We all use Cindy's amazing digital stamps, they can be found here at her online shop, but you don't have to use a digital stamp on your project for your challenge entry. If you have not checked out Cindy's digital stamps you should. I know some people can be intimidated when it comes to digital stamps and coloring...but she has something for everyone. You can start with something simple:)  Here is my card:

For my card today I used Sweet Gingerbread Tags. The set comes with two tags the little boy that I used here, and a little girl. So cute!  He was very easy and lots of fun to color. I used my Prisma Colored Pencils, then added some chalk for the cheeks and tongue. For the tongue I used one of my copic markers and added some glossy accents. I distressed the entire tag with Tim Holtz Antique Linen, and added Martha Stewart Micro Beads around the edge. I embossed the base of the card (only the front part) with the Dearly folder by Sizzix, and then cut the top layer with the Elegant Edges Cricut Cart. I added some snowflake embellishments from Recollections, some twill tape to the tag, and inked up all the edges to finish it off.

All of Cindy's challenges stay open for two weeks. You still have time to enters last week's challenge (make a different style fold card can not make an A2 or Shape card..must include ribbon and a die cut) To see what the rest of the talented design team has created this week hop on over to Cindy's blog. Cindy just may have a little blog candy for one random winner that enters the challenge this week..!
