DOstamper STARS #111 - Color My World Christmas

Welcome to another DOstamper STARS Thrusday Challenge.  This week we have a Color My World challenge.

 

 

I took a very Christmas interpretation of these colors.  I couldn't seem to make the Basic Black work for me, so I used Early Espresso instead (hope that is OK).  When the Hardwood background stamp came out in the annual catalog, I couldn't get enough.  I haven't used as much lately, so it seemed like the time.  I stamped the Hardwood background in Early Espresso on Natural White cardstock.

 

I stamped the wreath in three colors - Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive and Real Red.  Using two greens helps give some dimension to the leaves.  I then cut it out using the coordinating framelits.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.

DOstamper STARS #110

Happy Thursday!!  Time for another DOstamper STARS challenge.  This week is a Home Sweet Home challenge. 

 

 

If you haven't started your Christmas cards, now is the time.  I will be featuring the Wonderous Wreath stamp set and framelits for the next couple cards.  This week I used the wreath framelits and cut a wreath from Silver Foil paper.  Then I took the Decorative Dots TIEF and embossed the wreath three times.  Each time I ran it through the Big Shot I slightly moved the wreath in the embossing folder.  This embossed more of the wreath and created some cool dimension.

 

I think you can see better in this photo.  The embossing folder will emboss the empty space, but it will also emboss over dots created in the last pass through the Big Shot.  I added a Night of Navy Seam Binding bow as an extra detail.  The sentiment is from a retired holiday set from last Christmas.  I love the elegance of the font with the silver and blue papers.

 

 

Hope you liked my card this week.  Thanks for stopping by.  Visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.
