~ Sparkling Snowflakes ~

Good morning!  Thanks for sharing a bit of your morning with me!  Today's card is a CAS project to honor this week's Splitcoast Featured Stamper. 

 

The card created with a rectangular mask...

I used a rectangular die to create my mask and secured it with removable tape to the Kraft layer.  I added Colorbox Mica Magic in Pearl and Colorbox Ink in Frost White with a craft sponge.  I then added just a hint of Memento Desert Sand to all of the edges.  For a final bit of pizzazz, I spritzed the entire area with Glimmer Mist in Dazzling Diamonds and let dry.  I removed the mask and stamped random snowflakes with Versafine Onyx Black on the card and traced the edge with a black marker.  I also used a paper piercer to add another "frame."  Finally, I added my sentiment in the bottom right corner and ONE layer.  Something I RARELY try!  So fun! 

 

Now here are the Our Daily Bread Designs products I used...

MOJO272 & TSTR145 ~ God's Gift ~

 

Good morning!  Hope this post finds everyone well.  I'm spending the next few days trying to get my house in order...  literally!  This holiday season has been a hectic one.  I decided a few months back I WOULD NOT stress so much about the holidays.  I think it has backfired unfortunately!  My nonchalance has proved chaotic...  lol... 

Normally we put up a live tree up the day after Thanksgiving.  Due to health issues and prior commitments I was unable to get my tree until December 5th.  My husband brought it in and placed it in the tree stand.  I however, had zero extra time...  so my poor tree remained in the stand until the next day before I gave a half hearted attempt at putting lights on it.  And when I say half hearted...  well...  it looked pretty sad...  lol...  So on December 12th, I FINALLY placed ornaments on my tree after rearranging the lights.  On December 19th I discovered TWO additional cardboard boxes full of ornaments ONLY after I wondered what had happened to ONE specific ornament.  **sigh** 

I think I have my tree in order just in time to take it down...  :-)

However, I have worked on cards.  Today I have one for this week's Mojo Monday and Shabby Tea Room Challenges. 

The card...

Using Our Daily Bread Designs' recent releases Sparkling Snowflakes, Snowflake Sentiments and Spellbinder Snowflake Die Snowflake Die.

 

 

 

I used a watermark ink to stamp three snowflakes on white card stock and embossed them with silver powder.  I used the snowflake die to cut each one out and added them with dimensional foam to the focal panel.  A bit of pink seam binding adds a cut ebow with some glittered up jingle bells.  I tucked my sentiment in front of one of the snowflakes. 

 

Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me.  Until next time...  blessings...

Today I'm sharing a couple of fun sketches.  Specifically, I have the pleasure of guest designing for Let's Capture Those Sketches.  Please hop over to their blog for complete challenge details including the link where you can  enter.  This challenge gives you not only a sketch to work with but an inspiration photo to incorporate in your work. 

 

Sketch #44

 

 

and your Pinspired Colour Challenge photo....

 

and my interpretation...

 



I tried to pull out some of the design elements from the photo...  black fixtures, stainless steel, pale green and even some Swiss dots to mimic the milk glass.  A bit of kraft paper peeks out as well...  I felt like it added a bit of brick and mortar to the look...

Now for Sketch #45...

The Pinspired Colour Challenge....

And my interpretation pulling out pink, green and white...
