Santa is coming to town

Hello crafters!
Today I have a first inspiration make for our Country View Challenge held in the Facebook group. This month the theme is "Silhouettes " hosted by Carol . 

I am not normally one for making "Christmas in summer" but it seemed appropriate as I haven't had the chance to use the  Sizzix/Tim Holtz Vault Christmas Magic die set (666718) very much so far.

I used paper from my stash for the sky and ground.

The sentiment is an old stamp, also from my stash, and I added some iridescent stars with So Soft paint in White Pearl for some shine with the Tim Holtz Mini Layering Stencil 43 (THMST043)

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Helen is "Animals". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

The focal image is Imagination crafts Art Stamps inked with Kaleidacolor "Vineyard" inkpad.

The sentiment, stamped with the same inkpad is from the Rubber Dance set Retro Beach.

The background paper is from a Gorjuss pack, die-cut with the AALL & Create #78 Roadways Vistas. matted to black card, die-cut with the matching die in the same set.
