Christmas Creation with Kerst Christmas

Today I'm sharing an adorable card using wonderful products from Last-Minute Manda and We Are 3.  I hope you love it!

I started this card by printing two patterns from Autumn Shadows (We Are 3) onto colored cardstock.  I decided to stick to a softer palette for my card.  I pulled out Christmas Anna (Last-Minute Manda), digitally colored her, printed several copies, and layered the image.  

I trimmed around the sentiment from the From the Heart collection (We Are 3) and popped it up with foam tape. Then I popped Anna with foam tape.

I love the soft feeling printing Autumn Shadows on colored paper...almost as much as I love Autumn Shadows by itself.

Isn't Christmas Anna just the cutest? She was so fun to color.

 

Documenting Christmas with A Cup of Sweetness by Mirtillamente

Hello, Everyone!  they say it's finally fall - though the temps here are still triple digit.  However, cooler temperatures are on their way and following is Christmas - inspiring me to create!

Today I'm excited to share a Christmas card - infused with paper designed for fall using the newest paper collection available at We Are 3.  I incorporated the beautiful Autumn Shadows and the fun A Cup of Sweetness by Mirtillamente on this card to celebrate my two favorite seasons.  Mirtillamente is sponsoring this month's Kerst Christmas Challenge.

The monotone colors were perfect for this, and I used several of the paper patterns to digitally paper piece the hat, scarf, and teacup.

I cut several copies of the image and layered the pieces to provide dimension.  Then I added a single poinsettia.  This paper collection is perfect for fall, but the gorgeous patterns and monotones are so rich!

To add additional contrast and texture, I added a frame from Monica's Creative Room.
