A Taste of Christmas

It's Sunday and time for another tag at the Eclips Users Group.  It's also Featured Stamper day.  I thought I would try to combine those two challenges - in hopes that the Featured Stamper had a tag in her gallery.   She had one on the very first page that is just perfect!  I like using nontraditional colors for Christmas, so the stocking is cut from the We Are 3 collection Daydreams.  Hope you can join us this week at the Featured Stamper.  

Daydreams at We Are 3

It's a new release at We Are 3.  These alcohol-ink patterns are a personal FAVE of mine - all the magnificence, none of the mess!  I used to enjoy being creative with alcohol inks - now I prefer to let Bonnie be creative, and I just download her beautiful work!  For me, it's all about the digis.  This card is using a pattern from the new Daydreams collection...now available in the Etsy shop. For my three-panel card, I included a sentiment from the Friendship set, framed in a digital from Darcy's Florals - and a little butterfly accent from my stash.

The fab inside sentiment is from Jan's Digis....Signs of Autumn.  I cut around the sentiment using my cutting machine.  I don't generally include inside sentiments - but I think this card needed something. 

  

We Are 3 Gives Helps Me Daydream(s)

I have to say that fantasy-themed cards often gave me chills - but not in the way you might think.  While I admired this style....they often looked complicated to me.  I finally learned the opposite is the case!  They are generally one layer - all you need are some fabulous papers, and some lovely images - and you are finished!  Now I have to admit - most creators of fantasy-themed cards take time to create their own beautiful backgrounds with alcohol inks and/or other media I don't wish to mess with.  Bonnie has solved that problem for me - she messes with it and digitizes it and sends it on to me!  Lucky us who like to avoid the mess!  You can find Bonnie's papers in the We Are 3 Etsy Shop....search for "alcohol," and all her amazing works pop up.  Know what else?  I can resize the image for different effects (can't do that if you're creating your own!)  For this card, the background is from the new Daydreams collection.

We Are 3 Daydreams New Release

It's the last day of summer, and you know that means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!  Over the weekend I started making pumpkin wreaths galore...fun, fast, and fabulous to share!  Now, I like non-traditional colors - so I decided to use the inspirational new release from We Are 3 to make a "Daydreams" pumpkin.  Kind of love the way it turned out!!!! 

To compliment all the blue, I added accents from the Look Up and Peonies Ballet.

Remember to pop by We Are 3's Etsy shop to get your Daydreams!
