Happy Little Stamper Sketch and Christmas Challenges
Sometime when I'm playing around with ideas and stamps, things come out better than when I plan and take care. Case in point. This card for Happy Little Stampers Christmas - Poinsettia.
I had just gotten this stamp from Penny Black and wanted to test it out so I rubbed some Distress Markers on it, gave it a spritz and stamped on a scrap piece of Neenah. A few splatters got on it and some of the stamping wasn't that great but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. Instead of tossing it in the recycle bin, I added a few more splatters with my TH sprayer, a strip of DP and some gold and a gold embossed sentiment from Happy Little Stampers. Oh, yes, and some gold Liquid Pearls for the centers.
My next card is for another Happy Little Stampers challenge - the sketch challenge.
Step one: Ink up the background with Tumbled Glass DI and stencil SSS Snowfall with Unicorn White. Step two: Cut the little houses and trees from SSS and color them with DI, adding yellow vellum behind the windows and some embossed snow. Step three: Cut the hills with SSS dies and stamp one with the sentiment from HLS. Next it's time to arrange and rearrange until I liked how it looked, popping up the front hill and house Even though there are a lot of parts to this, it would be easy to make in multiples.

Your water-coloured poinsettias are so pretty, Bobby; a Christmas card that will be well-loved by whoever receives it! And your little village is pure charm! I'm getting all bundled up and going for a walk to check out that sweet, inviting neighbourhood...

Boy, I have missed a lot in my absence! Love your beautiful watercolored flowers! The little houses and snowy sky is great too! Keep up the great work...you are on a roll!
Wow, it's a good thing you didn't toss this gorgeous bloom into the bin, Bobby ... it's a stunner! Beautifully framed with the strips of DP and gold along the edge ... and that delicate splatter ... perfect! What a cute little neighbourhood ... those homes look so welcoming with all the windows lit! Hugs, Anita :)

Two beautiful cards, Bobby. I do love it when things come out as I planned, or sometimes even better. Happy you had that experience here. I do not know why I have never thought to color those SU houses--thanks for the inspiration, and also for playing along at HLS Sketch.
Two lovely cards! I especially love the poinsettia one - a great save by adding more splatters! And I love the way the dp co-ordinates perfectly with the colour of the leaves! Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers!
