A Quick Post

Hi there!  This is my second post today.  I rarely do two posts in a day, but I finished a card I was working on and thought I'd get it posted before I head out for the afternoon.  My card is for this week's Sweet Sketch Wednesday #140-47.  This week's challenge is being sponsored by Tracey at The Stamping Boutique.  It gave me a great chance to use a fun image called Art Doll that Tracey generously offered as a freebie awhile back, but it's available in The Stamping Boutique store now.

Here is Arlana's great sketch:

Here is my card:



I started with a card base of SU Groovy Guava and layered with patterned papers from the Bo Bunny Olivia collection.  As I mentioned above, the image is a digi called Art Doll from The Stamping Boutique.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  I added some Stickles here and there for a bit of sparkle.  I matted the image panel with a Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs diecut.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I kept this one very simple - no added embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by again!  As always, I really appreciate when you visit.

Have a great weekend and see you soon!

Can It Be? Another Christmas Card!

Hi there!  I know, I  know - lol!  I was sure I was done, then I remembered another card I needed to take with a gift to an appointment this weekend, so I ran into my craft room and made yet another.  I called upon a couple of challenges I didn't get to yet for my design.  First, it is for the Monthly Contest over at The Stamping Boutique Challenge Blog (winter or holiday).  It is also for this week's Just Us Girls Challenge #115 (a color challenge) and this week's challenge in The Play Date Cafe #112.   It was perfect because the JUGS challenge and the PDCC challenge were to use nearly the same colors.

Here is the JUGS Inspiration:

And here is the PDCC Color Story:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Lipstick Red and layered with patterned paper from the K & Co. Glad Tidings Die Cut Mat pad.  The colors were perfect!  My image is a digi from The Stamping Boutique called Sledding Snowman.  I won this image during a blog hop a couple of months ago.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored with Copics.  I added Glossy Accents to the Christmas lights around the border and some Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC. It was a freebie awhile back - not sure if it's in the store now.   I also colored it with Copics and added some Ice Glitter to the snowman's cap and some Stickles to the snowflakes.  I didn't add any extra embellishments - I thought there was enough going on with the cute images and the DP.

Many thanks for stopping by and checking out yet another Christmas card.  I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for Friday's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz and that will be about it for me until after Christmas.
