Krafty Chicks #838

Time is running out on the Krafty Chicks challenge and because my card for their last challenge received a shout out I feel compelled to enter this week's CAS challenge.  I was making a card yesterday for fun and think it works.

There are varying opinions on what makes a CAS card so I hope my Burlap embossed background from Honey Bee is okay with the Chicks.  The little trees are from SSS, cut from a paper pack from Craft Consortium.  The mantel is from Simon Hurley's Mantle Decorations and the white heat embossed sentiment is Hero Arts. 

Thank you for spending a bit of your day with me again.  I appreciate it.

The Paper Players #804 and CAS Christmas 9.26

It's a clean and simple challenge at The Paper Players this week with the theme "Bears".  

This bear is from Spellbinders Festive Friends.  He's dressed in a winter sweater made from a Honey Bee's Make It Merry paper pack.  The lights were already made in the folder with Glossy Accents on them.  The sentiment is from PFS.  

I thought about making him a brown bear but resisted.  Then I realized I didn't have anything to use for the CAS Christmas Challenge and a brown bear would have worked.  A little research told me that there are white woodland bears called Kermode, a subspecies of the black bear so off this goes to CAS Christmas.

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

Inkspirational #376

The challenge at Inkspirational is Furry Friends.  Except for a Christmas bear, I didn't bring any animal stamps with me but I do have a card I made last March for my son's birthday.

This Conga line is from the Anita Jeram collection at Colorado Craft Company and was stamped and given to me by my friend Michele quite a while ago.  I can't find it on their web site. Sorry.  They are colored with Zigs and I added them to a full card shaker filled with a variety of dots cut with an MFT die.  The sentiment is from Penny Black.

Freshly Made Sketches #754

The sketch for Freshly Made Sketches is wide open and ready for any half panel you want to design.  I had one already made and in the package.

Jesus is the focal point of Simon Hurley's Nativity Scene, cutting him in color while Mary and Joseph are silhouettes.  The background was colored with Distress Inks and splattered with Hero Arts Unicorn Spray.  The sentiment is from Spellbinder's The Three Magi.

The Paper Players #803 - Color Challenge

I knew right away what I was going to do for the color challenge at The Paper Players.

LeAnne's colors were perfect for Altenew's poppies, stamped in their ink.  No green?  No problem.  I just left the leaves in outline form.  They're on a background created with SSS Whirlpool Spinner embossing folder.  The sentiment is from The Ton. 

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