 Sketch #40

CHALLENGE:   Create a card using something with WINGS!

Here is the card I created using Kimberly's sketch and the challenge...

Wishing You Peace & Joy

For my card I used some gorgeous stamps from Flourishes.  I used the pine boughs from the "All That Glitters" stamp set and for my greeting, I used the retired stamp set, "Holiday Greetings".

All the pretty patterned papers are from the Fancy Pants Designs collection "Home for Christmas". And that fabulous little 3D cardinal sticker is from K & Company.

Timeless Tuesday ~ Happy!

 Howdy everyone!  Welcome to the Timeless Tuesday Challenge at Flourishes!

This week the ever talented Broni is challenging us to create a card or project that makes you "HAPPY" (FTTC196)!

For my card this week I decided to highlight the "Happy Holidays" greeting from the Naturally Merry stamp set and nothing makes me HAPPIER than creating Christmas cards...

Happy Holidays

I first die cut my tag using the Spellbinders' "Grommet Tags" die set using Flourishes Classic White Cardstock.  Then while my tag was still tucked in the die, I took some Ranger "Old Paper" Distress Ink and inked up the inner piece of the tag.  Then I used the same ink and stamped some of the mini snowflakes from the Flourishes "Warm Winter Wishes" stamp collection all over my tag.

Then I took some Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and cut out a piece of cardstock for my skates.  I used  the fabulous new Snow Day SVG Cut File and cut it out. Then I took my skates stamp from the Snow Day stamp collection and stamped the image using Memento "Black Tuxedo" Ink.

I coloured in my skates using the following Copics Collections; W0, W1 and W2 from the Warm Neutrals Collection, G11 from the Green Grass Collection, and G40 and G43 form the Pistachio Collection.        

Take a peek at what my fellow Timeless Tuesday designers have created for today's "happy" challenge…
