What fun it is at "The Sisterhood" for our next challenge!!!
Darlene is our hostess and she has chosen our theme of
"Name That Tune" using a Christmas song as your tune"
I had a ball with this challenge, but it was so dang hard picking
only 2 songs.....but in the long run I came up with these two!!
I had purchased this gorgeous Die-Versions die last year and
knew it just had to go with the song title
"Away In A Manger"
I first stenciled my background card stock with gold ink
using Memory Box "Star Dust" stencil.....
I get all my stencils from Classy Cards 'n Such and have such fun with them!
I cut two of the manger scene, one in light blue and one in black
and just letting a bit of the second one show underneath...
it almost makes it look as though it were glowing.
The second card I did is more of a "fun" card.....
The second card I did is more of a "fun" card.....
I went with the "Winter Wonderland" song
thinking of the verse "In The meadow we can build a snowman"
Now that I have that song stuck in your head (LOL) I will tell you how I made the card!!
I used the gorgeous new die from Sweet Dixie
isn't this just the cutest snowman ever???
First I die cut my snow"girl" and then glued her down on white card stock
then I used my Copics to carefully color her in
I found if you kept your pen "STRAIGHT" up it was easier to do!!
then I "hand cut" it out, added my pearls and I had this darling little snow girlie!!
I finished off with a snowflake embossed background
and a gorgeous pink ribbon!!
Take a peek over at "The Sisterhood" blog and see what creativeness the "SISTAHS"
and "STEPSISTERS" have for you.
Because of the holiday fast approaching, we won't be back with a new challenge until
January 14, 2015, so we each did TWO Design Team cards....
lots of beautiful inspiration for you there!!

Both of your cards are great, but I particularly like the Away in a Manger! Somehow I can picture that dark starry night with one star brighter than the rest! A blessed season to you! patsy
