I just had to revisit the sketch from Card Patterns as I loved the sketch so much! This time though, I did not flip it, but used it as is just without the three embellies along the bottom. I pulled out a stamp I'd bought but not used yet (Bearing Gifts -- a cute single stamp in the back of the SU catty!) and stamped it on watercolour paper. Coloured it in and embossed the whole thing with clear embossing powder and then I added a touch of glitter to it using Crystal Effects.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a great day!!

Card Patterns Sketch 40

Here's my card for today's Card Patterns challenge! I flipped the sketch sideways to fit the image I was using. I had stamped three of these snowmen by masking the centre one and stamped a snowman on either side of it. They were coloured in using an alcohol based marker and then I coated them with Crystal Effects!

Inkspirations Colour Challenge!

Stamps: Scenic Season, Serene Snowflakes
Paper: Very Vanilla, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust
Ink: Craft Inks --> Chocolate Chip, Really Rust; Classic Inks --> Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Eyelet Border Punch, Chocolate Chip Striped Grosgrain, Chocolate Satin, Kraft Corduroy Button, Linen Thread, Dimensionals®, Texturz Backgrounds Plate 1, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder

This week, the colours from this week's Inkspiration challenge are really fall-ish type colours but I'm really in Christmas mode so I hope I've made it work for a Christmas card?
I started out with embossing the trees with Iridescent Ice embossing powder (I LOVE this embossing powder!). The sentiment was also embossed with the same powder. The "bow" is really simple. It's just a loop of ribbon tied in the middle!

Hope you like what I've made this week! Please check out Keesh's blog and the rest of the Inkspirations team! Have a great day!

My first digi page!

Sorry I haven't posted for the past couple of days but we were really really busy! We had quite a few out of town guests come this past weekend for Paul's ordination. I thought I'd create a digital scrap page using My Digital Studio showing just a couple pics of what I feel really show the most. I gotta play more with the program seeing as how this took me forever to make!

Have a great rest of your day!

ETA: not being able to respond to anonymous/email unavailable comments, I thought I'd respond here: yes, God is supposed to be capitalized but there is no capital "G" in the font I'd chosen to use ... neither is there any punctuation that I could find otherwise there'd be an ' after the word "God"
