#CC3C - Stamps & Framelits

Today's post is for the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge. Check out the lovely Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The sponsor for Challenge #9 is Inspiration Emporium. One lucky entry will receive a $50 gift certificate for their store.

I began by checking out Tim's technique on page 63 of his book. I only have one of his cling rubber stamp sets with matching Framelits dies. Following Tim's technique I completed the tree and added some ornaments that I applied Remnant Rubs to. At this point I decided to create a window card. This is a series of cards that I've created using a Cabinet Card Frame as the base, corrugated cardstock and a die cut window. So here is my first Christmas card of the year. Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Faded Layers

I just completed my entry for Challenge #8! There's still time to play along, check out Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The sponsor for this challenge is The Funkie Junkie Boutique, one lucky player will be randomly selected to receive a $25 shopping spree.

The faded layers technique is on page 58 of Tim's book, A Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3. This is a new technique for me. I started by experimenting with a variety of colors on numerous pieces of cardstock. Once I decided what I was going to create I used Tim's technique on the background. I also used some of the other pieces of colored cardstock for the sea horse, seashell and greenery. Thanks for stopping by!
