December Inspiration by Judy

Good morning all!

It's Judy here sharing my inspiration post for December.

I created an altered notebook using

Hawaiian Mermaid.

I colored the image with pencils and fussy cut.

Next I pulled out some papers to go with my colored scheme.

I covered the front of the notebook with the background papers.

I decided on a layout using some circle dies.

My DP is from the Paper Studio's "A Day at the Beach" paper pad.

I die cut my "Dream" title and

 decided to add a little glitter

 to the letters and the mermaid.

I finished up with some glittered sticker dots and

 this is the end result!

Victoria's December Inspiration Post

Hello! I hope that your having a lovely day/evening. It's Victoria here, I'm stopping by to share my inspiration post for this month. I've decided to crated a Christmas Card using two Cute As A Button images called Mary Did You Know and Drummer Boy. I thought that these two images went together really well and can be found at the Cute As A Button Store.

I've coloured them both with a mixture of Spectrum Noir Markers and Rembrandt Aquarell Pencils and fussy cut them out. To create the sky background I've used Distress Inks like water colours. Then I added small die cut stars and a big heat embossed glittery gold star that I created. I also computer generated the sentiment. Mary is stood in the stable which I designed. To add texture I added straw/dried out grass to the roof.

There is currently a challenge going on at the Cute As A Button Challenge Blog and a Progressive Challenge on the Cute As A Button Facebook Group.

We'd love to see you come and join in the fun.

I hope that you like my creation.

Happy crafting.

Happy Christmas from Margaret

Hello everyone it is Margaret here and it is my turn to post an inspiration card for Cute as a Button

I am not well so I have just made a clean and simple card for this post.  Cute as a Button has some precoloured digi stamps as well as black and white digi stamps for you to colour.  The precoloured ones are good when you need to make a quick card.
I have used the precoloured IMG00344 Christmas angel and sentiment which you can buy from the shop

Wise Men Still Seek Him

Hi!  Karen here to share some inspiration with you...well, I hope you feel inspired by this card.

This was a fun card to create.  I started with adding everything to my print program.  The image used was Gifts For King Jesus.  You can also get this image pre-colored HERE.

***Did you know that if you want your black to show up better on your digi papers, print the paper first then run the sheet through again with the black where it was supposed to be and remove the digi paper?  Yep, it makes the solid black picture/font show up better!

Once I had everything printed out I colored the image.  I used colored pencil only for this one.  One thing I like to do to give it a softer look is to color the entire image heavily, then use my eraser and erase everything I just colored.  Sounds crazy, but it works.  After coloring the image I fussy cut it out and added pop dots to the back.

I added a little burlap, a burlap flower, 2 paper flowers, some pearls, a gem star, part of a doily, black ribbon and some hemp twine.  The outer sentiment is mine.  The sentiment that came with the image is printed in the inside of the card.

Thanks for looking!
