Christmas Kickstart #109

I knew right away what I would do with the theme at Christmas Kickstart.

They want images wearing a hat and I couldn't think of a better one than Penny Black's Snowy.

I paper pieced his hat and scarf with some Gingham from Honey Bee and added Fluff it Paste to his brim and pom pom.  The background is a press plate from Spellbinders called Snowflake Shimmer and was pressed with Unicorn White on SB Celestial.  To keep Snowy from fading into the snow, I put him on a vellum Stylish Oval from SB.  The sentiment is from PFS.

The Paper Players #782

It's clean and simple time at The Paper Players and Christy wants to see baby animals.  I mean who doesn't love baby animals.  

I immediately thought of my old WPlus9 set called Unforgettable.  I stamped and masked to get a soft blue sky and then colored the images with Ohuhu markers, adding Glossy Accents to the balloon.  We have a lot of young greats that this card could go to.

Inkspirational #365 and NBUS #85

There's a sketch challenge at Inkspirational and a new to me die seemed perfect for it.  What do you think? 

I ordered the Waffle Flower Quilt Frames not realizing I got two little quilt square dies along with the frames.  I'm actually working on a fabric quilt right now so it wasn't a big jump to make one from paper.  All of the patterned papers were scraps from my stash.  The background is SB Tuscan embossed with a coverplate from WF that I thought looked like quilt stitching.  I don't often add embellishments to my cards but the sketch has some so I pulled out these ancient flower sequins from SSS and added them around the sentiment from The Ton.  

It's the first use of this die so off my card goes to Darnell's NBUS.

Freshly Made Sketches #732

I've wanted some lighter alcohol markers so after seeing Gina K recommend Ohuhu markers and my friend Judy saying she has the pastel ones I couldn't resist.  I'm in the process of swatching them but decided to pick a few for the flowers on my card for Freshly Made Sketches. 

It's going to take some practice and watching a few videos but I'm ready for the challenge.  That may be my summer project.  The flowers are from Altenew's Adore You and the paper, which has the same lined vibe, is from Paper Rose.  The sentiment is from The Ton.
