Merry Monday....Joys of the Season

Merry Monday Peeps!!!

Today Lesley at Always Playing with Paper has a fun new sketch for us:

I pulled out my Stampin Up "Winter Memories" stamp set  to use this sled and cardinal stamp.

I stamped the image onto some confetti cream card stock with black stazon and colored using my aqua painter and ink pads.

The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler and then a layer of cream and then the DSP is from the "Be of Good Cheer" paper pack.

The sentiment is from a small Hero Arts set and is stamped with black stazon and punched out with my 1-3/8 inch punch and I used my 1-1/2 inch punch and cherry cobbler to mat the circle.

I used some ribbon for my flag elements from the sketch, I used some vanilla velvet ribbon (retired) and some cherry cobbler scallop ribbon.

I pierced all around the main image and colored a few small pearls with a copic marker to add to the wreath,

I finished it up with more pearls in the corners. 

Now be sure and hop on over to Lesley's Blog to see what the rest of the Merry makers 

did with this great sketch.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Freshly Made Sketches....Winter Wishes

Hello Peeps!!

I am popping in here quickly to share I card I made using the sketch this week on the Freshly Made Sketches blog.

I have seen a lot of cards made this way lately, monochromatic with the image left plain, and I wanted to give it a try.

I used Island Indigo t stamp my image onto whisper white card stock.

The image is from the Stampin Up's Winter Memories stamp set.

The DSP is from the Festival of Prints pack and I added some silver glimmer paper for some sparkle.

I added a little snowflake that I had in my stash to the end of the sentiment flag. 

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.
