Kit Kraft Wednesday - Using Up Button Farm Supplies

I was late on Kit Kraft Wednesday last week, so I wanted to be sure to post a creation using supplies from my monthly kits.While at a crop this past weekend, I finished a chipboard book from The Button Farm.  I had leftover paper and embellishments and cut them up to create future cards.  The first is a creation using the color combination challenge from The Paper Players which was Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Mossy Meadow.  Here is my card . . .


The scene was created using one of Stampin' Up's new clear stamps.  I embossed the images before adding some watercolor to the scene.  I love the look of coloring scenes on pattern paper. 


My second card, using those same leftover supplies, was inspired by this week's CAS-ology challenge, which was "FESTIVE."  I used my leftover paper, chipboard and stickers to create this card, adding a sentiment die from Essentials by Ellen. 


I've been enjoying my latest craze, which is to emboss my sentiment dies, adding dimension and shine.  Highly recommend you give it a try; it really adds some "pop" to your cards.  


 The reindeer and border were both chipboard elements and added some awesome dimension as well. 

Hope you find some time to create!
