Welcome to the North Coast Creations October New Releases! I am SO excited to be bringing you two cards featuring this month's new release! AND NCC will be choosing 2 winners who will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store for stamps just for commenting on our Design Team cards! You can leave some love AND possibly win a gift certificate! How fun is that?
You have until October 17, 2013 at 10:00PM EDT to make a comment on each of our designers blog posts. Our 2 random winners will be announced on the North Coast Creations Blog on October 18, 2013.
Both cards today have a Christmas theme. One is just a bit non-traditional... are you intriqued yet? So here we go...
I colored the image with Copics and used a scallop punch out to sponge my sky. A few dabs of glitter glue on the snowflakes adds some bling. A bit of lace and pearl trim to the side give this a feminine feel even though Mr. Snowman is decidedly manly in his top hat! I stamped the sentiment with a bright blue ink and used a snowflake die cut to highlight it. A bit of red ribbon and a black button add just a bit of color to the scene. Here's the stamp set itself. Isn't it just darling?
My second card is just a bit more bohemian. I must say I think I might like celebrating Christmas on a beach somewhere...
I colored this scene with Copics also and added a soft sky blue at the top with ink and a sponge. I used a postage stamp die cut and hand cut some stripes to add a faux postmark....
Here's the stamp set itself...
