Winter Holiday Celebrate Card based on a sketch

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! This is my 2nd card for the year and in about 5 months! It feels SO good to be creative! To think creatively! To get my fingers messy with 2 different stamp pad colors and a mid-blue paint stick!

This card is also combining 3 different challenge blogs' criteria. There's an anything goes winter/January theme, an inspo list of 10 items/themes that I have to use at least 3, and a Christmas/winter holiday card with sketch. I only gave or mailed out a few Christmas cards to my immediate family, so I've got belated cards made last year I need to get mailed asap and I'll include this one too.

Winter Holiday Celebrate Card:

Supplies: (1) bronze dazzle word is from Paper Wishes website; (2) snowflakes stencil is from Simple Stories; (3) gold and light blue cardstocks, A2 white card base & matching envelope, blue ink stamp pad, gold ink stamp pad, blue paint stick (from a set of 4 colors) are all from Art Skills' Crafters Choice; and the (4) blue foam snowflake sticker (from a huge set in 5 different colors bought years ago) is from Oriental Trading.

Challenges:

A. Festive Friday #0100= the 3 items I used were splatters, celebrate/celebration, and gold

B. The Four Seasons Challenge blog= anything goes winter/January challenge theme; I was inspired to use wintery blues and snowflakes (stenciling on the focal background and the large foam one); this is their mood board for January:

First card for 2022

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! It's hard to imagine that this is the first card I've made in 4 1/2 months!! After three previous years of regular weekly crafting, it has felt really great to do some crafting in the late hours of Thursday! 

This card is based on a sketch I saw a couple of days ago on 52 Weeks to Christmas challenge blog. And later in the post I will show that. I took a few creative liberties with the sketch like scattering the white glitter snowflakes but felt since they were white like the base, it was more like adding texture to the card base rather than embellishments. The card base had the small square opening so I didn't widen it to match the center square shape shown on the sketch. The poinsettia is for the circle shape....

Vendor notes:

a. the card base and matching envelope are from Studio G

b. poinsettia, snowflakes & bow stickers are from Dollar Tree

c. striped paper is from stash

d. green cardstock is also from stash (either Neenah or Pen + Gear)
