Let it snow - SSC367

Hello. Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

This sketch is a good one to add to your arsenal for repeated use!   

The stencil in the background is done with color fuse ink from Rubbernecker (Brass & Bliss).  The sentiment is from PTI and stamped in Versafine ink.  The snowflake is from SSS and cut out of neenah cardstock.  Then I decided to use some navy blue glitter on it.

I'm not a fan of glitter, but this turned out pretty good.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs! - SSC365

Happy Valentine's Day - TSOT640

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch On Tuesdays. 

 

I used the cover die from C&9 to add the stitch pattern to the card base. The Heart 3D embossing folder is used for the center circle to add some subtle texture. Heart die is from Pink and Main. Decided to add a couple of puzzle pieces to represent a couple (die form IO) and the sentiment stamp is an old one from Papertrey, Ink.  I've had the red plaid ribbon in my stash forever and really like how it finished off this card. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.
