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 thought I would make another card for this weeks FMS362 challenge.
The little green leaves that I used with the flourish thinlet die is from my new multi leaves thinlet dies that I received in the mail.
I chose red for a border. Then I used a scalloped circle die on the woodgrain background to give the white circle die a background. I used black ink for the sentiment, which is from my So Sorry stamp & Cut clear stamp set.
I hope you like my card. Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog.

# 491-2016-02

It's another week for the MojoMonday challenge and this card makes the 491st card I have made since I first started making cards about 6 yrs ago. 

Here is a link to the MojoMonday challenge : http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com.

And here is a little bit about my card....

I chose a Pink blank card for the main part of my card. On the front, I chose a green color. I'm not sure of what shade of green it is, but I thought it was the perfect shade of green to go with the pink. 

Next, I used my Photo Frame embossing folder to give my background a cool looking border. 

Then I chose some white lace ribbon to go around the main theme with pink brads on the corners. I chose a Mother's Day theme this week. The patterned paper I used is from the Pretty In Pastels and Mum's The Word paper collections that I downloaded and printed up from the Papercraft Inspirations website.

My sentiment is from Mum's The Word. The sentiment is attached to a pink circle and a scalloped circle. I used a circle framelit die cut with pink paper and then I chose the same shade of green with a scalloped circle die cut. All of this put together gives my card kind of a vintage look.

Thank you for stopping by. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

I decided to try using a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" scalloped circle framelit to make a circle card for this weeks challenge. I used a pastel green for this. 

Then I used a green marble paper and I cut out a large circle to use as my background.

The striped strip on the side is paper from my Dots & Stripes paper pad.

I used my branch w/ leaves die cut along with my Stamp & Cut flowers set, which is a clear stamp set that comes with the matching framelits. For my flowers, I used Perfect Plum ink and for the sentiment, I used Elegant Eggplant ink, which are both Stampin' Up inks. The sentiment is from my Handwritten Sentiments clear stamp set. I added the sequins to give my card an added look.

And this completes my card for this weeks card challenge. Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are appreciated.
