AAA Cards #254

I saw several cards in the Just Us Girls gallery that were also made for AAA Cards and they inspired me to make one for their challenge. 

The Woodware nativity and sentiment were stamped and heat embossed in gold on black.   I needed white too so I cut the panel with a lacy die from Reverse Confetti.  QACAS!

This will be the start of next year's cards.  I think I should have made two.

Freshly Made Sketches #591

Sometimes what looks like the easiest sketch is the most difficult to actually achieve.  I had to think a while and go through my meager stash before I came across an idea for Freshly Made Sketches.

I cut white cardstock with the edge die from Spellbinders.  Then I rehearsed different papers to go with it for the background.  Just like in Goldilocks, some were too light and some too dark.  Just right was this colorwash look from HoneyBee.   The flower from Simon Hurley was cut from the strip leftover when I cut the background.  The sentiment from Altenew was stamped in dark brown to go with the flower center.

Freshly Made #176

Freshly Made has a long. skinny challenge this week.  I bought envelopes for 3 1/2 by 7 cards a long time ago but seldom make cards to fit them.  This was my chance.

I extended a die by My Craft Spot to make the lacy bottom on my white cardstock and put that over some dp that I've had for ever.  Because the card is 7" wide, I couldn't use my paper packs so I went looking through my 12 x 12s.  I have WAY too many and need to start using them up.  I don't have any belated cards in my stash so this sentiment from Clearly Besotted came to the rescue.  Then I thought the card looked a little bare so I cut the flourish from MFT in black and layered it over yellow to bring out the centers of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by.
