MME Christmas On Market Street Card And Ornament Exchange ~ FotoBella DT

     I hope you had a wonderful and festive holiday, and wishing you happiness and health for the New Year! The FotoBella Design Team recently had a fun exchange to make a card and rosette ornament for one member of the team. Here's what I made and sent to Apryl, using My Mind's Eye Christmas On Market Street I Want It All Bundle!

     Cutting a circle from the gold dotted vellum, I adhered it to a white card lightly misted with gold. Around the circle I embossed the stitching with a Prima stamp, and added some chipboard pieces and Paper Tape.

     Inside of the card I used some more vellum, chipboard, and Paper Tape with the Journaling Cards, which gave me the perfect spot for writing.

          To make the ornament I used white cardstock and punched the snowflake edge, spraying it again with some gold. For the center rosette I used the same gold striped vellum that's inside the card topped with some chipboard, and strung with some gold fiber. 

Here's a close-up!

     And the back where I added a snowflake from the Mixed Bag with a red Brad in the center!

MME Christmas On Market Street Mixed Media Technique ~ FotoBella DT

     I'm back with another layout and technique to share with you using the new My Mind's Eye Christmas On Market Street Collection from FotoBella!

     I started by using a dotted stencil with gesso onto the white dotted paper that comes in the 12 X 12 Paper And Accessories Kit.

     Then I sprayed over it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays (Rudolph's Nose Red and Cathedral Pines Green).

     Once dry, add gold embossing powder over the dots and set with a heat gun.

For the September 5 Ingredients + Yours Challenge @ Scrapbook.com I used:
1. 2 Pictures
2. Something Messy (My background)
3. Frame (Made from vellum)
4. Star (On top of the tree cut from the Die Cut Alphas)
5. Stripes (The white and gold striped vellum and Paper Tape going across the page.)

For my own twist for the September Stamping Challenge, I embossed the gold dots on the Chipboard tree, adding some bling from my own stash.

And finally for my other twist for the September Sewing Challenge, I did some straight stitching by hand around the vellum frame. I also hand stitched around the vellum circle and circle photo.

Thanks for your visit!

Christmas On Market Street Stripes And Vellum Layout ~ FotoBella DT

     The new My Mind's Eye collection, Christmas On Market Street, is exactly what I've been saving this special photo of me and my grandpa for! This was from 1990, even though I didn't mark it on the page.

     I combined stripes with some of the beautiful vellum papers to come up with this design, using the 12 X 12 Paper And Accessories Kit. To the photo and dotted vellum, I added the gold photo corners that come in the Sticker Labels. From my own stash, I added lots of ribbons and fibers, which I've been collecting for over twenty five years. In fact, I think I bought the green, sheer ribbon when I was the age I was in the photo. I made a banner using some pieces from the Mixed Bag and Chipboard Elements, and attached Brads to the ends of my fiber. I also hand stitched some green fiber and gold specialty thread onto the the punched papers.

      But I didn't stop there, as I used the same gold thread to stitch around the flower die, which also comes in the Mixed Bag, along with the Christmas Eve banner that I added for my title.

   

       So head on over to FotoBella to pick up this gorgeous, festive collection, and get an early start on all of your holiday projects!
