The House That Stamps Built: Sketch Challenge

 We have 5 Wednesday's this month so we get a Sketch Challenge from 

Wendy at The House That Stamps Built!

                                                                       

 My take on Wendy's sketch:

 

I went with a Christmas card featuring Repeat Impressions 

These three gifts, embossed with Pearlescent embossing

powder.  Background is Distress Oxides: cracked

pistachio, worn lipstick, and seedless preserves. 

The colors lightened when I sprayed them with

a glimmer mist for a nice soft look.

Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

 Everyone's favorite at The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes.  I went with

another Christmas card for my collection:

Repeat Impression Supplies: Pointsettia

I embossed the poinsettia, framed it with a die cut,

created my own background and added ribbon and gems for 

some sparkle and interest.

 Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to all!

Twofer Challenge

Each month I mean to enter Darnell's Twofer challenge and then I get busy

or I do not come up with an idea. This month I had both the time

and an idea, yeah! 

 

My cards feather a star stencil by Hero Arts, on the first one I use a masking 

stencil by Taylored Expressions, a sentiment Joy and Love by

Great Impressions and Distress Oxides.  The second uses  a Stampabilities

stamp I have had forever, Snowy Pines, Taylored Expressions

Simple Strips sentiment, distress inks and

white pigment ink for the stars.

Thanks Darnell for this fun challenge.

Snowmen love

 I decided it was time to start coloring up and using all the digital images

I have printed, so I started with Christmas ones.  These adorable snowmen

are from Meljen Designs, her store no longer exists but she may design

for someone else.  Sentiment from Taylored Expressions.

I thought these were perfect for a couple of the

grand kids.
