Much Happiness

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Just a quick post today to slip into the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge.

I don't usually make square cards, but Jen T.'s sketch really cries out for it.

I have an embossed panel that's been patted with a white inkpad, matted

and placed on a subtle embossed background.

Super simple and quick.

Check out what the fabulous Design Team has done and let's take a

look around the gallery for even more inspiration.

Strut Your Stuff

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've been having so much fun that I'm late with my Fun Friday post.

I've been stamping with friends and this is one of the cards we're doing.

We all get a kick out of these fun Unity Stamps.

Everybody appreciates it when they are quick and easy to color too.

I'm trying to get to all of you who sent me beautiful birthday cards and it's slow going.

I need to stop having fun and get down to business!  All the good wishes in the mail, comments

on my blog, calls and texts made my birthday extra special.  Thank you.

I hope you have a fun weekend!

Merry Christmas Chickadee

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today I have two similar cards to add to my Christmas stash.

I pulled out an old favorite die for Donna's Sketch #744 at

Freshly Made Sketches

I fear that I took too much artistic license with this.  I hope that's okay.

I needed to put the strip on top because it would show through the vellum.  And I

think I'm missing a layer.  Oh well.  Hopefully it's close enough.  And I'm happy to

have another Christmas card in my stash. 

Actually it's two for my stash.  I did this one too while I was at it....

Both cards have snowflakes embossed in the background with white ink

patted on top.

I put a piece of vellum in the aperture, added a bird and berry branch.

The branch was cut from white cardstock and colored with Sharpies.  I added

some Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the berries for shine.  The chickadee is watercolored.

The gold bird was die cut from gold foil cardstock and embossed with my

Subtle Embossing Folder.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  

Ink:   Whisper White, Hickory Smoke, Lost Shadow, Tattered Rose (DI)

Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Bashful Blue (ret SU), Vellum, Watercolor, Gold Foil

Other:  Holiday Frames die (SSS), Black, Gold, Red Sharpies, Snowflake EF (MS), Winterberry Sprig die (MB), Bird Amidst the Holly die (PB), Birds die (IO), Nuvo Crystal Glaze

Enjoy!
