"Accents of White" CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop where we are featuring techniques aligned with "Accents of White", while incorporating Close To My Heart products. 

If you are coming from Tamara's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post. 

I have been having tons of fun incorporating the White Gel Pens into my artwork, which is what I did for this Technique Blog Hop. I used them on to create the snow in the background, and also accented the accents on the tree image. The little touch adds so much, in my opinion. 

To create the tag, I used the Buildable Tags Thin Cuts and make it look like a window. The addition of the acetate, made it possible. The trees on the outside of the window were created from the Jingle Joy stamp set. Both were stamped in Clover ink, with the furthest one done 2nd generation. 

I created a curved stencil and used the Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Oxide Ink to create the blue/night sky. Then, by adding the White Gel Pen, I was able to create some falling snow.  

For this tree, on the foreground, I used the Comfort & Joy stamp set. By adding the Liquid Pearls and White Gel accents, it added a bit more to this gift tag, providing a finishing touch. I was excited with the results. 

I appreciate you stopping by and send you to Darlys Recker's Blog. Be sure to keep making your way around the Blog Hop to see what everyone has created to share with you today. Happy hoppin'!

"Season to Sparkle" CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Thank you so much for joining us for this month's Technique Blog Hop titled, "Season to Sparkle". I hope this holiday season finds you in a sparkly mood, truly enjoying the reason behind this holiday.

If you are coming from Miss Carrie's Creations, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post.

I've in the card-making spirit for over a week and have a few more I want to make before the end of tomorrow. However, I could't resist making a fun, yet simple gift tag. 

I did use the Holly Jolly paper packet for the festive Christmas colors. 

To add some sparkle, I used Shimmer Trim and Stickles, highlighting Santa's pompon and the berries on his hat. A red gem was used for his nose. I love the little additions that make for a CUTE tag!

Thank you very much for stopping by. Please head over to Cat's Blog to see what she has to share with you and then continue to make your way around the Blog Hop. We love when you leave comments, too, so consider doing so! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
