TSOT 656 - Christmas Wishes

 Welcome to Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge 656!

I am heavily into making Christmas cards so that is my chosen theme for my card. 

The pine branch was stamped and I arranged the snowflake ornament underneath and embossed that in silver. It was coloured with markers and the sentiment was stamped under that. The strips of patterned paper along the side coordinate with the image on the left and I added a thin strip of silver foil cardstock along the side. The entire card front was adhered to a dark green cardstock base and two small snowflakes were placed as per the sketch.

Pearly Sparkles - Cheer Gnome

 Welcome to Pearly Sparkles October Challenge!

The theme for this challenge is fantasy. 

I chose to use a gnome - a Christmas gnome in particular. That image was stamped, coloured and die cut and I also stamped and coloured a sentiment. Oval dies were used to frame the images. The backgound was created by smooshing cardstock into shades of red ink and then embossing that piece with a snowflake embossing folder. I used sandpaper to lightly sand over the raised images, leaving the white cardstock showing underneath. I added white and silver Liquid Pearls to the centres of the snowflakes and adhered the gnome and the sentiment to the front.
