The Paper Players #778

It's a sketch at The Paper Players and Claire designed a great one.  I wanted to put a bird as my focal point and found one already colored in the package.

It's from Hummingbird Thanks from Pretty Pink Posh.  Next I went in search of patterned paper and found both pieces in a pack from Honey Bee called Team Tie-Dye.  The green was cut with a deckle edge from My Craft Spot (oob) and the label is from Pinkfresh Studio's Dotted Fancy Frames.  I used one of the dies from the set to partial die cut the vertical banner.   The Subtle embossing folder from SU and a sentiment from SSS finish it off.

Christmas Kickstart #108 - Out of the Woods

I had a little fun with my card for Christmas Kickstart.  The "Out of the Woods" prompt sent me looking for forest patterned paper.  I was going to use a different bear but settled on Spellbinders Festive Friends.  That features a Polar Bear but I did something different with him.

You'd usually find black bears in the forest so that's how I cut him.  Then I got silly and decided that the bear wouldn't want to be seen so I put him in a sweater that camouflaged him.  Camouflaged until he ran into a string of Christmas lights that is.  The sentiment is from an older Ellen Hutson set called Bear Wear that was heat embossed in clear to make it show up.

Inkspirational #363

I made a quick card for the green challenge at Inkspirational.

That top layer of the Concord and 9th plaid is not the black it appears to be but PTI Pinefeather and the bottom layer is Spellbinders Fern, all on Gina K Ivory.  The sentiment is from SSS.  EZPZ and ready for my masculine file.

ETA:  With encouragement from JoAnn, I'm also sending my card to Seize the Birthday where the topping is green as the main color.

Freshly Made Sketches #728

I'm still trying to use older stamps when making cards and I have one that sparked my card for Freshly Made Sketches.  Christmas Rose from WPlus9.

It is stamped with Memento Toffee Crunch and colored with CP inks for the flowers and Distress Inks for the leaves.  I added white anthers with a Uni-Ball pen and a few splatters before stamping the sentiment from PTI in Toffee Crunch.  The colors were inspired by my own flowers that I always called Lenten Roses, scientific name Hellebore.  

Pardon the dead leaves in the middle.  When I know the frost is over they will be removed.
