Hello and happy Saturday. Today, I'm posting some of the cards I made over the course of this week. The current challenge at Lawn Fawnatics #89 is Happy Holiday Critters, and I am linking up my first two cards to that challenge and at WWC299 (Occasion is Christmas/Holiday)
I created a little snowy night holiday scene with 2 of the bears from Den Sweet Den and the Forest Border die. I just love how cute these bears are, and it reminds me of knitting for my kiddos. I am also entering this card at Shopping Our Stash #434: Let it Snow and Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Snow)

For my second Lawn Fawn holiday critter card, I used a tag I made a while back for The 25 Days of Christmas Tags using these adorable birds, and converted it to a card, and I am entering this card at Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Singing)

Moving on to birthdays, I loved the look of that metallic paper so much on this card, I decided to use a piece of copper colored paper for my next card. I started with a three layer die from Birch Press Epiphany, cut the first two layers from white and cut the top layer with the copper paper.

Here is a closer look at some of the details. I used a die from Concord & 9th to cut the sentiment out of a piece of black card stock, and backed it with more of the same copper paper. I am entering this card at Seize the Birthday #204: Sparkle & Shine and Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Shine).
My next card started as a fail, but after changing direction, I am pleased with the final result. I swiped a piece of cardstock with Catherine Pooler ink, splattered water, then tried to do something I saw on a video with versa mark and the stamp that I will use in my next card. That did not work, and I was left with a very pretty colored background. I sliced it up into strips, and used it to follow the sketch at
CAS Colours & Sketches #398. I am also entering it at
Just Add Ink #533: Just Add "S" (Strips).
Almost at the end....I started playing around with a new Hero Arts cling stamp and have 2 cards so far to show for my effort.
I white heat embossed the image and blended distress oxide inks all over. Added this little moose I am enamored with, a popped up sentiment and WOS everywhere. I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with
Hero Arts #17: Thank You and
A Blog Named Hero: Glitter and Sparkle.
For my second card with this stamp, I heat embossed in black sparkle, sponged distress oxide ink and then cut my panel down as inspired by the current sketch at
Fusion. I am also entering this card at Stay Crafty with
Hero Arts #17: Thank You and
A Blog Named Hero: Glitter and Sparkle.
I think I have 4 more spots to enter at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week, so I will enter the first 4 cards in my post over there.
