Get Musical at Get Creative Challenges

A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges!

Our theme this month is Sing a Song (musical notes, paper, etc.) Show us your creativity by incorporating music in your creation! 

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.

I know Spring is around the corner ... but alas I decided on a Christmas card! I used distress inks on the outside of the paper and on the images.  I heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder and added a few sequins. Quick and easy, perfect for multiples.

Stamps:  Wonderland and Grassy Grove, Stampin' Up!

Distress Inks: Antiqued Linen and Frayed Burlap (images)

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

Christmas Music

Christmas Craft Creations challenge time and our theme this month is Christmas Music.

When I saw the theme, I knew We Three Kings by Dr. Digi would be perfect.

I colored these three kings with Copic markers and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out as I hate fussy cutting.  I followed the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and used papers from the Believe collection by Heidi Swapp.  

I had a bit of trouble with my heat embossed sentiment - After I assembled the card, I decided to add a sentiment. I wanted it to stick out so I pulled out my embossing powder.  I couldn't find my paint brush I use to remove loose powder so tried to tap as much as I could - then turned on the heat.  I don't have a craft heat gun, I have a regular heat gun from the hardware store so you have to be careful cause it gets really, really hot.  Well, I was so focused on my crappy tapping job that I didn't see the poor king's hat starting to burn.  Yikes!!  Had to open up the window before the hubby came to check out the burning smell, hahahaha.

Thanks so much for stopping in and I hope you join our challenge, I'd love to see what you create! Remember when entering our challenge to add the above theme badge for a chance to win a Cosy Christmas stamp set donated by our own Boryan!
