Hi everyone. It's the first of the month and it's time for another awesome challenge over at
 The Ton's Challenge Blog: The Season.

The Ton online store.  You can click on the link to head on over and check out the details any time.  But first I'd like to show you a card I made for this month's Holiday Challenge!

.

I mixed up a whole bunch of  The Ton's stamps and dies to create this fun but simple card. 

Background
I stamped a tone on tone pattern using the Holly Branch stamp set and The Ton's Hampton White Pigment Ink.  Then I heat embossed the images with some Recollections Glitz embossing powder.  It creates a sparkly soft background that I diecut using the Large Double Stitched Rectangle dies.  I added this panel to the center of a horizontal A2 side folded card base with dimensional tape.

Stamps, Coloring & Dies

I stamped a this large Brushed Merry stamp in The Ton's Ballet Slippers Dye ink, then diecut using the Brushed Merry Coordinating Die.

The girl and tree image from the City Girls Winter Edition stamp set was stamped in The Ton's Copic friendly Noir ink.  Then I had fun coloring in some pretty Christmas colors.  I also used the Coordinating Dies to cut this image out.  Super easy!

To add just a little more color to this card I stamped some holly and berries from the Holiday Flourishes stamp set using The Ton's Lipstick Red and Bright Fern dye inks.  Then I fussy cut around the images to make one piece. 

Assembly

The snow hill on the bottom of the card was cut out by hand and glued directly to the raised embossed panel.  Then I adhered the Brushed Merry centered just above the hill.  I glued the City Girl and holly in place then added some clear sequins from The Ton's Glass Slippers Couture mix.

That's all  for today.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you'll make some time this month to join in this fun Holiday Challenge with us over at The Ton Blog.  We love seeing all of your creations and it's so fun to see everyone's interpretation of each challenge.  

Have a great day and Happy Stamping!!
