Ice skates

Hello. Playing in the CAS colours and sketches challenge today. I turned this one on it's side.

Skates are a die from Gina Marie Designs.  The pine branch die is from Carta Bella and the berry branch, I have no idea who makes it. I used some thicker DMC red floss on the laces on the skates.

I used Distress Oxide inks in tumbled glass and faded jeans with a life changing brush on Bristol smoooth to create the soft background. Then I stenciled on some snowflakes with white home made stencil paste. I used Fabrika Decoru in poppy to add the berries onto the branches.

Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Winter holiday latern

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the every popular Anything Goes.

I stamped the lantern in Versafine ink and heat embossed so that I could color it using Copic's. Once done I added some puffy paint and glitter to the highlight the snow. Tied a red ribbon using the Bow Easy, and stamped a tag with the sentiment. Turned out to be a classy little card. =)

Let's be merry

Hello! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #412.

Gnome stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs. Colored with Copic's and cut out using my Brother Scan N Cut.

Found some designer paper from Carta Bella (called cabin fever) in my stash of Christmas papers that worked awesomely in the background. Funny how the snowflakes almost match their hats.  Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mint snowflakes

Hi all. Playing in a couple of challenges today. Started off using the sketch over at Sunday stamps and paired it up with The Card Concept inspiration photo.

I chose to do a clean and simple classy card. I was inspired by the cool mint teal color and got out a copic marker that closely matched the photo. I colored sections of a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock and cut out the snowflakes and the back ground circle. As you can see I decided to emboss the white circle with a snowflake embossing folder.

I added clear glitter to the snowflakes. Did a bit of matching color splatters in the background and called it good.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Let us give thanks

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I went with the colors on the photo to create my card. If you look closely, you can see that I embossed the sentiment and the cornucopia so that they stand out a bit. Colored with Copic's. I added a few spots on the red apple using a white gel pen. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought this was a great way to celebrate and give thanks.

Watercolor thanks

Hello all. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge today. The challenge is thank you/thanksgiving.

Decided to do some water coloring using this background stamp from Magenta.

I stamped it in versamark then heat set with white embossing powder. Used my Arteza watercolor pens along with a water brush  to color the flowers and back ground.

Thanks die is cut out several times using black cardstock and stacked together. Used a pierced square die to cut it out and added it to a black square card base. I like how the black makes the colors pop even more.

Angel Ornament

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I chose to do the middle column across.  The angle is paper pieced using patterend paper.  I used round coasters to create my ornament. I cut the middle out, then heat embossed it several times using silver embossing powder.  Added some clear plastic to the back of it to so that I could create a shaker out of this. I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the angel. White gel pen used to highlight the stripes on her robe. The wings are colored with Copic's then highlighted with a sparkle pen. It's hard to see in the photo, but IRL, it looks cool.

Frame it!

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week is my turn to decide what to make. So my Designers Choice Challenge is to "Frame it!"

I used Versamark and gold embossing powder to do the sentiment. To create the frame, I used a large rectangle die and my versamark pen to trace around it. Then added the gold embossing powder. I really like how it turned out. Clean and simple, plus it's a one layer card.

Holiday stenciling

Hi all. Playing along with the 30 day coloring challenge today. I'm behind a couple of days, I think. But here is my take on the challenge using stencils.

I used the newest stencil from Pretty Pink Posh and distress inks. I did break out my cosmetic brushes to color this. I ended up masking off the circles/berries and coming back and doing them after the leaves. I created the vellum band and heat embossed the season greetings using platinum embossing powder from Hero Arts. The sentiment is from Purple Onion Designs.

HO HO HO

Hi there. I'm back again with another card for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #409 and the SSS Anything goes challenge.

The Merry Christmas designer paper is from the paper studio. Used some of their glitter paper to layer the gnome and sentiment.

It's been a fun filled creative Saturday. Thanks for stopping by.

Coffee cup stamps and die are from Hero Arts. Designer paper is from Fancy Pants, called Timbergrove, which I've had in my Christmas paper stash for a while now.
