Muse Christmas Vision #44

Hi Everyone,

I have been soooooo busy lately, but I wanted to play along in the current Muse Christmas Vision, where Chris Blagrave made a wonderfully soft Christmas card:


You all know this is NOT my strong point, but I think I succeeded this time. I took my favorite little Christmas tree stamp and heat embossed it in white. then I took my sponge tool and sponged without inking up the sponge, just using whatever color was still on there - that's how you do soft, I guess...
Added the sentiment (all tamps by STAMPlorations) and the bird (Memory box), which I kept white. and splatters - you gotta have splatters!

Here is Chris' card:


It's easy to see what elements I took

So come on and play along! You are going to need those Christmas cards....

Happy Stamping!

Solche zurückhaltende Farben bin ich von dir überhaupt nicht gewohnt. Wie kommt es?
Na, vermutlich wolltest du uns mal verblüffen, dass du auch anders kannst.
Das kann ich verstehen, mich reitet auch manchmal der Schalk.
Deine (frohe Weihnachten dann) Karte gefällt mir sehr gut, selbst ohne - oder gerade deshalb - die üblichen Weihnachtsfarben.
Liebe Grüße

Oh, Cornelia, I think it's safe to say soft colours and delicate sponging are definitely your strong point ... this is just lovely! The 'light' around those trees is so dreamy ... it positively glows! Hugs, Anita :)

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
