ATCAS #52 - Sketch and Happy 2nd Birthday

 Hi there blog friends,
One of my all-time favorite card challenges is Addicted to CAS, and this week happens to be their 2nd Birthday! So, before I share my card, I would like to say Happy, Happy Birthday to Kylie and her amazing team!




So, as you can see I went fairly literal in my interpretation of the sketch. Instead of paper or cardstock for the panel, I used my SSS Diagonal Stripe stencil and texture paste. I've had the PTI Circle Scribbles die for a while, so I used it for the first time on this card, and cut it in vellum. The penguin is from Mama Elephant and the sentiment is from SSS Big Holiday Wishes.

That's it for me today...Thanks so much for stopping by ~

ATSM - Challenge #122



Hi there Blog Friends, It's Team A's turn to post our inspiration cards for this week's challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More. The theme for this challenge is "Make Your Mark", so I hope you'll grab your markers, paints, colored pencils and stamps, and play along with us! Our Sponsor for this challenge is Eureka Stamps, and the prize is your choice of 3 Digital Stamps! Here is my card:




I chose this digital stamp from Eureka Stamps, and colored him with my Copic markers. I used Mama Elephant Femme Frames and Landscape Trio die cuts and mounted it onto a black card base. The sentiment and snowflakes are from Lawn Fawn. I also added Flower Soft to the snowy hill to give it texture and shine.


I hope you'll be able to find some time to stop by and check out all of the amazing projects my Teamies have created for This Week's Challenge and play along! Thanks so much for stopping by ~

SSS Flickr Challenge #6 - Die Cuts; CASology - Festive; Muse - Christmas Tree

Hi everyone,
I'm playing along again in the current SSS Flickr Challenge, and the theme is 'Die Cuts'. I'm still working on my Christmas cards, so I grabbed my Layered Holiday Tree Set and created this card:





I die cut the tree onto the front panel and created an ombre with 3 different mint green inks (didn't realize I had so many). I die cut the star 3 times with gold foil paper and stacked them, stamped the sentiment with Versamark and gold embossing powder and added the sequins.

Come on over to the SSS Flickr Group Challenge and join in the fun...Barb Engler is our Hostess, and you can find all the info HERE!

I would also like to enter this card in this week's challenge at CASology for the theme 'Festive' and in the Muse Challenge - Christmas Tree.
