Let it Snow

#580-2018-12.

This is my card for this weeks freshly made sketches card challenge #368.

The patterned paper came from my Christmas combo matstack.

Then I used my snowflakes embossing folders on white paper. After that, I sponged them with marina mist ink to give them a little color.

The snowman globe is from some Christmas stickers that I recently purchased at the dollar store. I added the silver gems to a few of the snowflakes to bring them out a little more.

For my sentiment, I used a clear stamp with red ink on white paper. I used a stitched circle framelit die on top of a scalloped circle die cut out with olive green card stock. 

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog. Please come again!

I have an older sister who was born on New Year's day, so I made this card for her.
I used a damask embossing folder on white cardstock paper for my background image and then I sponged on some purple eggplant ink on the edges to give it a little bit of a border.
For my main image, I used a flourish die with Hunter green cardstock paper for the leaf design. The flowers are from the Stampin Up Fabulous Florets stamp set. First I sponged on some Spring Pansy chalk ink from versa magic to color them and then used a little Eggplant ink to highlight them. After adhering everything to a white blank card, I added the pearls to my flowers.
The sentiment is from a Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut set. I used Hunter green ink for the stamp before using it's matching die cut. Then I used a little bit of eggplant chalk ink from versa magic around the edges to highlight it. I adhered it to my card using double sided dots. And this completes my card.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit and will visit again. Thanks for stopping by.

I received a new nativity die cut in the mail today and I was experimenting with it. This is what I came up with for it. This card is 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches.
For the background, I used my "border" embossing folder, which I sponged on some ink onto the outer edges before using a light blue water color paint on the border design.
I used a scalloped circle, which is embossed with white embossing powder to give it a little shine behind my nativity scene, which is cut out on navy blue cardstock paper. The sentiment is stamped on with black ink. I used 3 very tiny silver gems on the nativity.
