Season's Greetings

Hello all - playing in the current sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.


Used uncharted mariner distress oxide ink to blend out the dashed snowflake background panel die from Waffleflower. I added some white paint splatters (spray ink from Avery Elle) and spritzed some sparkle shimmer spray on it too. It's so hard to capture a good sparkle in the photos, but in real life both the snow flakes and the blue background panels look awesome.

Snowflake die is from Picket Fence. Sentiment is an old one from Papertrey, Ink. 

Have a great weekend!

Life is better with sandy feet

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.


 
I turned the sketch sideways on this one. Wood embossing folder used with weathered wood distress ink on the backround. Grit paste used on the kraft cardstock to look like sand. Love how it turned out. 

Sentiment is from Hero Arts. I used a die to cut out a medium star from white cardstock and scored it so that I could get it to stand up. 

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.
