#68 Photo Inspiration

Happy Wednesday and welcome to another....

Wonderful Wednesday Cooking With Cricut Challenge!

Our Designers have teamed up and are choosing the challenges for the next two months. Today's "hostesses" are:

Felicia and Jill

They chose a photo for the team to draw inspiration from. Here is what Jill and Felicia said to the team: “So for the challenge this is our photo inspiration, use the colors or a tree, whatever this photo inspires you to make!”

This photo is entitled "Relax" and was taken in Charlotte, North Carolina’s Freedom Park by photographer Chris Summerville. When Jen contacted the photographer to obtain permission to use the photograph, she was informed that this photo was shot with an infrared lens -- so in actuality, those trees are green! Please take a moment to check out Chris Summerville’s other work. Truly breathtaking. Thank you Mr. Summerville for the permission to use such a striking piece of photography.

And here is what those crafty ladies on the Design Team came up with . . .

Jill created this beautiful etched glass using the Storybook cartridge.

these stylish monogrammed coasters. Visit her blog for more details.

Day 9–25 Days of Cricut(Crafting) Holiday Fun

Good morning all,

Today’s projects are in keeping with our new challenge. No Red and Green TOGETHER. You can use one or the other (or neither) but not both :-)

I am a bit behind on a few Christmas cards so today I switched gears and made some of those instead of a layout.

Here they are.

This card I made using the Paper Lace and Winter Woodlands cartridges.

The “paper lace” was cut at 5.25” and then misted with glimmer mist and inked around the edges with gold paint. The picture really doesn’t show all the shimmer.

Here is a close up of the flower. It is from Winter Woodlands. I used the same flower cut for the leaves. I just cut the petal in half and omitted one of the petals.

I used Champagne Stickles to create the “dots” on the center and for the veins of the leaves.

Here is “My Version” I created the “paper lace”, 

the flower and the Christmas Blessings Digital Stamp.

Here is a close up of the poinsettia flower.

Here is Day 8 – 25 Days of Cricut (Crafting) Holiday Fun projects

This first one is created using the Paper Lace, Winter Woodland and My World Cartridges.

The “lace” background is from Paper Lace Cartridge, The Bells are From My World Cartridge and the holly leaves are from Winter Woodland.

Here is a close up shot of the bells and holly. I embossed the bells using my Cuttlebug and an embossing folder.

Here is a close up shot trying to show the shimmer on the lace. The picture doesn’t really show that I glimmer misted the lace with Iridescent Gold. Looks pretty in person.

Here is “My Version” I created the paper lace, bells and holly for this layout.
