My Crafty Weekend

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  My first card today uses this adorable pair of penguins from Altenew.  I was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #399, the colors at Color Throwdown #620 and the Penguin challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #173: P is for Penguin (no snark here...just love).

My next card is inspired by the challenge at Ink to Paper to make a Winter Wonderland card.  I am also linking up at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Happy Holidays, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Christmas, and WWC298: Anything Goes Masculine.

My next card features a gold embossed sentiment, and I am entering it at Seize the Birthday #204: Sparkle & Shine.

I call this next card:  Chocolate Moose.  I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #462 and the challenge at Color Hues #6: Pink & Brown.  I used this adorable little moose from my new Hero Arts Furry Winter Animals stamp and did some background stamping with a bitten chocolate bar stamp I've had for ages.

Here is a closer look at the background stamping.

I made my final two cards for the challenge at A Blog Named Hero: Glitter & Sparkle and Stay Crafty with Hero #17: Thank You.  I used the Hero Arts Nature Stencil and Nuvo Glimmer Embossing Paste to create the background.  It's a bit hard to see, but in person it is an incredibly glittery forest.

Here is a close up of some of the glittery trees.

I wondered what it would look like in black, so I made another card.  Using the same Glimmer paste on black cardstock had the trees and forest looking green or gold, depending on which way I tilted the card.

Thanks for Visiting
