Winter Rabbits

FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge has a brand-new challenge for you to join! 

This challenge blog is all about celebrating the cozy, rustic charm of country life during the holidays — think barns, wildlife, snow-covered fields, and all things outdoorsy and festive! 

Each challenge is Anything Goes, as long as it captures that country Christmas feel.

We are a just-for-fun challenge, but you could earn our Grand Champion Winner Badge (with a Guest DT invite) or proudly display our Wintery Top 3 Badge on your blog or socials.

My project features winter rabbits playing in the last light of a wintery day.

I created this card using Spring Trees by Lavinia Stamps and the rabbits are from the Wilderness collection by Sizzix.  The background was created with Distress Oxide Inks, Fossilized Amber, Carved pumpkin and Unchartered Mariner.  The snowbanks were brushed with Tumbled Glass and the final touch was a spray of Sheery Shimmer gold spray.

I can’t wait see what you create — and don’t forget to check out the blog for beautiful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!

Happy crafting!

Noah's Ark Welcome

A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges! We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will play along for your chance to proudly display our Winner or Top 3 Badges.

Our theme this month is "Inspired by a Book".  I think it's obvious that my book is Noah's Ark and this image is from the Better Together collection by MFT (no longer available).   

After coloring the image with Copic markers I went to work creating the background using Hero Arts Cling Zag Background Stamp with distressed oxide inks.  

I used VersaMark on the background stamp then heat set white embossing powder and went to work blending Abandoned Coral and Dried Marigold (#1) and Dried Marigold and Cracked Pistachio (#2) Distress Oxide Inks then sprayed with Gold Sheer Shimmer craft spray.

I assembled the card, framing the distressed background with a white frame made with my Cricut Joy, used pop dots on the image, added a sentiment, clouds embossed with Silver and some sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you hop over to Get Creative Challenges for some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team!

I came across Grouchy Snowman over at CC Designs and I fell in love with it, Grouchy makes me smile!

Not a lot of coloring to be done, the coloring I did do was with Copic markers and added glossy accents for a bit of dimension.  I wasn't sure how to display the image and I figured you can't go wrong with black and red. I found some black and white plaid paper and used a border die to create the red scallops, finished it off with red ribbon.

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas Animals!!
