I love a rainy day!

I've had a busy day of cleaning (ugh!) and a little card-making. I am participating in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. Here's the sketch:

 
I must admit that had a little trouble with this sketch. This is what I came up with:


I started off with a caroller stamp - I have no idea what the brand is, it was a yard sale item with no label or other identifying marks. It is a lovely stamp; anyone who recognizes it, let me know and I'll give credit to the company! I cut the stamped image out using the Deco Labels framelits, and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake.

The base of the card is black cardstock. I cut out 2 pieces of Yuletide Carol paper about an inch wide. I layered some black glitter tape on the top and bottom of the two strips of paper. I took another piece of Yuletide Carol paper, tore it and sponged some Crumb Cake ink on the edges. 

I popped the stamped image using 3D foam tape. 

I'm pretty happy with the end result. Christmas in June? YUP! :)

Supplies:
  • SU! Deco Labels Framelits
  • Recollections black glitter tape
  • TPC Studio Retro Christmas Jewels
  • Ink: SU! Crumb Cake and CTMH Black
  • Paper: Black and Colonial White cardstock and CTMH Yuletide Carol
  • 3D foam tape

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Christmas Vibes - in May?

I'm participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop .  My card is does not have a Spring/Summer theme - but it's never too early for Christmas, right?

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
