Freshly Made Sketches #719

I thought it was time to use some of my older supplies and found just what I needed for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. 

The TV is from MFT's Stayed Tuned.  Remember rabbit ears?  Most of you are probably too young.  The background is a stencil from Scrapbook.com called Dashed.  I even remember when TV was black and white so I started with gray and then added color for the band in the sketch.   

How about pulling out some of your older stamps and dies?  You may see them in a new way.

Color Hues #125

I have the honor of guest designing at Color Hues for their current challenge.

I actually used five different blue hues on my card.

This is a mix of two Spellbinders sets, Guiding Light for the lighthouse and birds and Set Sail for the waves and clouds.  I did add a little neutral gray to the card in the form of a rock for the lighthouse to sit on.  

I'm anxious to see what the Design Team has made using blue and white.  Let's go take a look at the blog post shall we?  I hope we inspire you to make a card for the challenge.

Inkspirational #358

I have another winter birthday card.  This one is for Inkspirational and their Shine/Shiny challenge.  It's my second post today since the challenge will be closing soon.  

The Snow Flurries Distress Mica Spray background was in my Bits Box.  Sorry the shine doesn't show in the photograph.  Hopefully you can see the shine of Altenew's Dazzling Diamonds cardstock that was used to cut their Layered Snowflakes.  More spray was used on a scrap to cut the sentiment from Altenew's Versatile Greetings, using the Dazzling Diamonds for the shadow.   In real life this has a ton of shine.

Thanks for dropping by and spending a little bit of your day with me.

Just Us Girls #806 - Mood Board Week

Vicki has a great winter mood board for us this week at Just Us Girls.

Here's a larger image so you can see more detail.

I combined several pictures in the lower middle of the board for my card.

I was looking for something else when I came across this paper with the log cabin on it.  Perfect!  All I did was add a stacked tree from Cutting Edge, using foam tape between the layers and Puff Paste for the snow. The sentiments is from Penny Black.

Which part of the board will entice you to make a card?  Check out what the Design Team and our guest Laurel have made for inspiration.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.

Seize the Birthday #318 and AAA Birthday #81

Today's card is for two challenges.  Seize the Birthday has the topping of "Make your own snowflake background" and AAA Birthday wants a winter birthday card.  Easy Peasy.

It's been a while since I've used a Concord and 9th Turnabout.  In fact I had to look at a video to remember how to do it.  I stamped it three turns using VersaMark ink and white pearl embossing powder on Blueberry.  Even though it's called white pearl it looks silvery when embossed.  'Winter' from TH was cut from white glitter cardstock and the Hero Arts sentiment was white heat embossed on Blueberry scraps and cut apart.  I have plenty of winter birthdays so this will come in handy.

ETA:  This card also qualifies for the Shine/Shiny challenge at Inkspirational so I'm sending it there after my friend Carol begged asked me to.  😁
