Twist of Faith has a very timely theme this week: Traditional Christmas! What does that mean? Well, it can mean anything you want it to mean! Do you have a Christmas tradition that you do every year? Or is there an ornament that you hang every year? Or maybe it's traditional Christmas colors...or a trip you take every year. I decided that I would interpret "Traditional Christmas" as the true meaning behind Christmas - Celebrating the birth of our Savior.
Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps & More who provided our Design Team with not only wonderful images, but even Guest Designers! Be sure to not only visit Twist of Faith and participate in our challenge, but also to check out the wonderful Christmas images that Robyn's Fetish has....because they are having sale that is running through December 31st - 40% off ALL inventory!!! WOW!!!!!! It's a great time to pick up some new Christmas images....and any others that are on your wish list.
I used "Christmas Scene 1" for my card and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. I wanted to keep things a bit "rustic" so I used kraft color cardstock for the base of the card and found some brownish type dsp to go along with it. Add a couple buttons and one of my favorite verses and this is what I ended up with:
I'm also submitting this card for the following challenges:
- Created with Love - Anything Goes
- Loves Rubberstamps - Anything Goes Christmas
- Tuesday Throwndown - What Christmas Means to You
- Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
- Use it Tuesday - Winter & Holidays
We have two great sponsors this week: Bugaboo and Scribble & Scrap. I used "Sewing SB Thread" from Bugaboo. I love Bugaboo images and guess what?! They are having a sale too!!!! Check them out because all images are 50% off through December 31st! I decided to use pencils to color the image and used some stash items to finish it up.
Be sure to stop by Twist of Faith and {PIN}spirational Challenge this week! Thank you for spending a few minutes with me today - God bless you! Merry Christmas!!!!

Two great cards. I love how you've used the buttons to add interest. The 'pin' card is bright and cheery too.

Zella,
I am not sure why I think those two white buttons are so magnificent where they are placed but they are. The coloring on that serene image is beautiful. Thank you for entering your wonderful paper art project with us at Word Art Wednesday.

Zella, I always like your style of adding pattern papers. May BE one day I'm going to copy your card style ;)
Double the fun! Awesome job on both projects Zella!
Zella, both of these cards are beautiful! I love the first one's image and the Pin one is adorable, too!
Fantastic job on both cards, Zella! I just love the natural look on the TOF card...and love the patterned paper on the {Pin} card equally! LOL
Hugs,
