JOY TO THE WORLD

Hello again. I’m so happy you came back for the second card! This one is for the CAS on Sunday sketch challenge:

  (A2; Stamps:Waltzingmouse Stamps (Little Lanterns); Ink: Distress Ink (Soot Black, Antique Linen, Fired Brick), VersaColor (Marigold, Green Tea)) 

The sketch showed a round shape but said you could use any shape so I switched to an oval template to better suit the image. I masked the lantern and used the oval template to create the dark background. It is a combination of Soot Black and Antique Linen. I then stamped the lantern, candle, flame and “glow”. I used a little Memento London Fog, blended with some Marigold, and filled in the inside of the lantern . I Stamped two holly leaves at the top, stamped a third and fussy cut. Added three different sized rhinestones, attached the sentiment, beads and bow and rounded two corners. I then attached to a black border and popped up with foam tape on the card base.

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!

CAS on Sunday: Challenge #20 'It's a Sketch Challenge'

closes Nov 7

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

Hi my lovely friends! Today is a very busy day because I am getting ready to go visit my daughter and son-in-law. They have a new house that I have not seen yet, and my mom and sister are going with me to check it out! We leave tomorrow, but no worries, I have lots of goodies scheduled to share with you this week.

Here is my CAS-ual Fridays card for this week:

The theme this week is color blocks.  Pretty simple card, so not too much to say about it.  The hearts are from Heidi Swapp and the sentiment is Waltzingmouse.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It seems like I am only making birthday cards lately, but I hope you don’t mind! Just a quick post here to share my Mojo Monday card.

This color scheme is a little different for me but I really love the soft colors in this MME paper pad.  Maybe one day I will find it on the web so I can link it to you, but it is called In Bloom.  I really loved the MM sketch this week and could not decide if I wanted to go CAS or not. I ended up with not!  Well, off to get some errands taken care of, but I’ll try to get around to commenting on your blogs tonight. This has been a busy week!

HOLD CHRISTMAS IN YOUR HEART

I made this card earlier in the season for a Waltzingmouse sketch challenge, but missed the deadline, so I haven’t had a chance to post it. I thought I would go ahead and post it now because I love the sketch and the sentiment.

I used K&Co Peppermint Twist paper to make this card.  Sizzlits heart dies make the cute hearts and the sentiment is from Waltzingmouse. The lace is from Inspired by Stamping. I used Distress Ink on the hearts and the Swiss Dots embossed background. I fell in love with the vintage feel of this card!

Have a very Merry Christmas!

One more card to share today! This one is for the Less is More challenge and this week is:

Glamour and Glitz By that we mean something to include glitter or bling, something that twinkles, sparkles or shines.

And here is my card:

I just got my Little Lantern stamps from Waltzingmouse Stamps and just could not wait to ink them up – the sentiment is from Verve. To add Glamour and Glitz, I sprayed the image with Gold Glimmer Mist. I tried to show the pretty glow it made but I could not get it to show in the picture. I added Diamond Stickles around the flame to make it shine and used red crystals for the holly berries.

HOLD CHRISTMAS IN YOUR HEART

I was really productive yesterday so I have several cards to share. I’ll post them one at a time, so please be sure to check back!

I just love this stamp from Whiff of Joy! I colored it with my Copics and fussy cut it so I could pop it up on the mat. The papers are from Recollections. I embossed the green panel with Swiss Dots and die cut & embossed the end with SB. The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps and is one of my favorites!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Please do come back to see more as I have several cards to share!
