Hi Everyone:
I guess your all getting ready or maybe completely ready, for the Christmas Season. Well my package for my parents & in-laws was sent yesterday and is now on route. Our family cards are sent and now I am making some for our friends here and my friends on-line. Decorations are up outside and now we just need to do the inside. Then I have some shopping to finish. Hopefully I will get it all completed before that magical night.

Why Not Play Along For Your Chance To Win! |
Today I want to share this Gift Card Holder that I made for the Hero Arts contest over at 2Peas. I love this place for great challenges and the inspiration in their gallery is amazing. I recently won some new stamps over there and was so excited to get them in the mail late last week. I had to get them inked up right away!
So I made this card to submit to their Hero Arts contest and I am also adding it to the Monthly Hero Arts company contest. Yes, I know! I am ga ga over Hero Arts stamps it seems! Lol. Be sure to order your Hero Arts stamps at 2 Peas because right now you can purchase most of the new stamps just released. I am praying to get some of these under my tree.

Okay, enough chatter! Here is my card that I made, and to be honest Jennifer Mcquire's card was my inspiration. She used a very cute Lawn Fawn stamp set for her card.
This card was made using the latest Christmas stamps from Hero Arts. I used the backside of a sheet of Imaginisce patterned paper to create a snowy background. I took white cardstock and tore it into smaller pieces, then layered it for snow mounds. To add some depth and dimension, I added some glitter to the top of the snow with Stickles. I also added shading with STAEDTLER watercolor pencils and distress inks. The snowman was colored with the watercolor pencils and fineliner markers. Snowman was added to card using foam dots. To give it that little something extra, blue bling embellishments were added to the snowy sky.
Thanks for dropping bye today. Hopefully I have inspired you to make a gift card holder. There are more Christmas post to share, so be sure to come back again soon.
Hugs
Dana
