Do Not Open Until Christmas - H2H Nov Wk #4

My concentration has been on Christmas Cards.  At our last Crop we were introduced to Gelli Plate Printing by one of our members.  My background design is one of the Gelli prints made at our Crop (see below for other designs which you may see in future cards).  This background reminded me of ribbon candy which based my decision to use a couple of different stamp sets for more candies, a stocking and gift.  All the images were stamped with versa-mark on different color cardstock, heat embossed with clear embossing powder, fussy-cut and adhered on background with 3D regular and thin foam tape.  Added a gold twine to the gift, and stamped on a sentiment.  




This week's challenge at "Heart 2 Heart "Anything Goes" ... how fun is this.  You must have a card in the making now that you can post in a second challenge...ours.  

You have until the end of the month to create any of the November Challenges to be eligible for recognition as one of the Top 10 "Darlings"... AND if you create a project for each challenge in the month of November you will earn a badge as an H2H Addict for Perfect Attendance.

For additional inspiration on these Challenges hop on by to see what other Design Team members have created and join in the fun. Hope this gives you some inspiration and enthusiasm to link your artwork as a participant ... we look forward to your creativity. 


Other backgrounds done at our Crop using Brayer tool, gelli plate and acrylic paints.  Fun, messy and never a duplicate design.  Click here for You Tube tutorials for a variety of techniques.   Or go directly to GelliArts for their tutorials.
