Two for Tuesday

I have two cards to share today. The first one I made for a sketch challenge on the Gina K. forum on SCS. I outlined the flower and leaf to make it match the beautiful Basic Grey dp. It really ties it together nicely.



This next card uses the Little Yellow Bicycle products from Limelight Paper Crafts. The ornament is actually a punch out from the Christmas Magic scrapbook pack. It makes for a nice quick card and I put this together super fast. The gold on the ornament looks a little wonky in this photo, but it looks better in person. The other snowflakes and sentiment were stamped using the matching clear stamp set.
Have a great Tuesday!

Limelight Sketch

I made this card for the Limelight Sketch Challenge and you can find all of the details HERE . It is a lovely sketch, but I kind of has a hard time with it... I think it was just my mojo was off a bit the day I made it. :o) For the background I used the Linen BG and a snowflake from the Christmas Magic set. Well, I still have some laundry to do from vacation so best get to it. Have a great Sunday.

Limelight Sketch

There is a great sketch challenge on the Limeight Papercrafts Blog this week. When I saw it, I just knew that I wanted to try it...as if I needed an excuse to use the new Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad. :o) I was wanting to make a card using Kraft cardstock, but decided to try it with my well stocked River Rock cardstock instead. It goes very nicely, with just a light greenish tint to it. I also used the ornament stamp from the clear Christmas Magic stamp set. I embossed the ornament with clear embossing powder (since SU doesn't make their In Colors in craft ink, I had to stamp it first in Versamark ink, then stamped it onto the Cranberry Crisp pad prior to stamping the image on paper). I still have some Cranberry grosgrain from over 2 years ago so used some of that on the ornament and card base as well. I am tickled with how this turned out and will add it to my Christmas card stash :o)

I also wanted to share real quick what my kids made last night...they carved three pumpkins. They did a good job and are quite proud of their design (they came up with the template themselves). Of course, the baby couldn't carve his yet, he thought he would gnaw on it instead :o))
Have a great day!
