World Of Michael Trent

A coworker of mine (Rachel L.) asked me to do a card that celebrated both Hanukah and Christmas. Not that easy to do - but I like the way this turned out. On white cardstock I stamped the Fireplace 2-2057E from www.amuseartstamps.com , the menorah (company unknown), and the Xmas tree 96847-P from www.inkadinkado.com . On another piece of white cardstock I stamped the window frame ( www.toomuchfunrubberstamps.com ), cut it out, colored it in, covered it with acetate, and then, using long strips of double sided tape, applied it over the other image. It sits about 1/4" above the image. Then pop dotted the mice (Viva Las Vegas).

This is a very simple card to make. The branch is Ponderosa Pine Y013 from www.stampendous.com . Then I stamped the ornament from www.outlinesrubberstamp.com - H183, cut it out, put some gold stickles around it, then stamped the mouse on the inside - Mouse Bauble H0004 from www.elzybellsna.typepad.com .

This image of the African American woman is called Pearls II from Coronado Island Stamps ( www.cistamping.com ). I used gold stickles in her headpiece, a little blue chalk on her eyes, and red glitter on her fingernails and lips.

Snowglobe images from www.judikins.com (think they are retired). The 2 girls holding the tree is Girls With Tree E0002 from Elzybells ( www.elzybellsna.typepad.com ), the snowflakes and star are from Holiday Snowglobe, 2425R, from www.plaidonline.com . Snowglobe from www.judikins.com (think they are retired). Fishing Penguin, E0029, from Elzybells ( www.elzybellsna.typepad.com ), the snowflakes and star are from Holiday Snowglobe, 2425R, from www.plaidonline.com . Snowglobe from www.judikins.com (think they are retired). The skating couple is from the Winter Wonderland set T2585 by The Angel Company ( http://trent.ismyangel.net ), the snowflakes and star are from Holiday Snowglobe, 2425R, from www.plaidonline.com .

This is another card I made using the India papers from www.doveoftheeast.com . The elephant image is from www.stampfrancisco.com . I stamped the elephant in black pigment ink, clear embossed, and then colored in using Ranger's Stickles.
