My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Monochromatic Theme at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Good Morning, fellow crafters!

Please see my STAMPING ON GLITTER TUTORIAL HERE.


Today begins a new challenge at 
Christmas at Sweet Stampin'!


My marvelously brilliant teammates have fantastic samples to share! We hope to see your imaginative artwork each month in our "Anything Goes Christmas" Challenges. The challenge is for ANY Christmas theme craft project. April's Challenge is open until May 7 and has an option of monochromatic theme.

Technique: STAMPING ON GLITTER

BOO BOO TIME

Having watercolored with this technique frequently, I was surprised at a huge boo-boo this card ended up having. Where the "crack and peel" portion of the sticker paper had been, some watercolor puddled there, leaving a visible line:


After waiting overnight, and the line not disappearing, I tried fixing it by hiding part, and adhering the other part. You can still see it a little bit when the light hits just "so":


The brads were dipped into the same pretty Mediterranean Star embossing powder as the frame.



To customize the "snowy" background, I used the same ink as the sentiment on an embossing folder:


All Done! It's quite sparkly in person:
