Freshly Made Sketches #663

The best laid plans of card makers can turn mid-crafting and that's what happened with my card for Freshly Made Sketches.  

When I got the Heaven's Gift stamp from Penny Black my idea was to emboss in gold and watercolor the image.  Instead I stamped in black, clear heat embossed and colored with Zigs.  This one was rather dark so I make a second version, since two images fit on one card panel.

I used almost the same color Zigs but washed them lightly over the image.  The sentiment is from the set and the background strips are from a Honey Bee paper pack.  I took a little creative license with the sketch.  You'll have to go to Freshly Made Sketches to see which one I entered in their gallery.

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.

Time Out #199

The challenge at Time Out is "Down to Earth" and this is how I was inspired.

The nativity is from Woodware, the sentiment from Scrapbook.com and the star stencil from Honey Bee.  The background was colored with Distress Ink and the panel mounted to navy cardstock. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.  Have a wonderful weekend.
