Freshly Made Sketches #692

I finally finished a card for Freshly Made Sketches and it's for Christmas.  

I didn't realize when I bought Spellbinders Christmas Wonder that all the little die cuts were to fit in the envelope of another of their Envelope Wonder series.  If the original ever goes on sale I may get it but meantime I'll use all those cute images in other ways, like the bells on this card.  They are cut from silver, although they look a little tarnished in the photo, with bows from some TH patterned paper.  The bokeh background paper is from Honey Bee as is the sentiment, stamped in Altenew Winter Lake.

Just Us Girls #781 - Stencil Week

I'm your host for stencil week at Just Us Girls and I can't wait to see what wonderful cards you make with all the stencils available to you out there.

I need to say a big Thank You to Joanne James for being our guest designer this month.  Her wonderfully creative cards have been an inspiration to the team and our followers.  

My card started with one of the sprigs from the Hello Beautiful set from Altenew, colored with Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany, Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles Distress Ink.  Then it was time to decide how to display them.  I love the detail on the SB 4 Petal Frame Pierced Plate and cut it from white and layered the middle section over a Slate Gray 4 Petal die cut.  

Stencil Week is one of our most popular challenges so I hope your card will be included in our gallery.  

ETA:  I had every intention of adding my card to the Inkspirational Challenge and then forgot to do it until nudged by my teammate Carol M.

Christmas Kickstart #99

Christmas Kickstart is a good way to get going on your Christmas cards.  Jo and her elf-of-the month inspire you with some makes of their own using this month's theme - Christmas Critters. 

My card was made using Penny Black's Festive Frolic.  The images were colored with Altenew artist markers and the background was made with Distress Inks and masking for the hill.  I don't remember who makes the sentiment but I thought it worked great for the scene.

A You See It #350 - Triptych

I put together a card for the sketch challenge at As You See It - Triptych.

For the three images I used one of TH Wildflower dies in Kraft, which went well with the striped paper from Honey Bee.  I trimmed the panel to let the navy cardstock show and added the Betterpress sentiment also in navy.  This will work well for a masculine card. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great week!
