Alix created an elegant Christmas card. The red poinsettias really pop off the graphic black and white striped background. The touch of gold in the embossed sentiment and matted panel is just blingy enough.

The simple shape of our Spotlight stencils provide endless design possibilities. Rebecca created a winter scene by simply doing a color gradation.

Rachel was another one of our awesome guest designers during our blog hop this month. She used the Keeway's Grass Scene Stencil for her beautifully blended background (say that 3 times fast ;) The adorable Little Fairies images were Copic colored.

Alix shows us how to make the most of stencils. She used 3 different stencils with the card! The Spotlight Circle and Keeway's Mountain Scene stencils create a focal point, while the vibrant pink Inky Stripes background adds some festive playfulness. The adorable caroling mice from the Fa-la-la set makes this a whimsical holiday card.

Mona started by embossing the berry sprig and sentiment in white embossing powder. She then rainbow striped her background using the Stripes Builder stencil. She purposely offset them a bit to create some additional colors. She used gold glitter paste with the Keeway's Sky Scene stencil to create the fun little gold star accents.

Jeanne's winter woods scene was created with the Pine Trees Stencil. She used the mask while inking the background with distress ink. An Additional Circle die cut was used as a mask to create a winter moon. The sentiment is from the Spotlight Holiday Elements. Glitter Glue was added to give the sparkle of snow to the pine boughs.
