AHSC #187

Hello Crafty Friends,
    Happy Monday! I made my card today for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog and I really like how it turned out! I love the inspiration that following a sketch gives, don't you?
Here is the sketch...
And here is my card... I used some current paper, retired paper, the music notes were stamped on cardstock and the poinsettia leaves and the poinsettia was cut from the new flower market cartridge as well as the Noel, and I added shimmer brush to the noel....what do you think? 

 I tried to get a close up of the flower, I also inked all the edges of the petals.

I hope you like it and find some inspiration too.

Nov. Team Blog Hop

Hello Crafty Friends,
    Welcome to the Team Brea-er's blog hop. This month we are focusing on the City Sidewalks paper pack. It is a circular hop, and if you have come from  Emily's Blog  then you are in the right place!
I didn't get many of the new stamps, well we cant buy them all! So I used an old but favourite snowman set! coloured with markers and used the shimmer brush on the snow man and snow. Love that tool!

Use the new snow flake die on this card! Its so easy to use!

And this card is actually a fold out.... the one side has only the 2 inch strip then the snowman, I think they call it a double fold card.

Now please Hop over to Sheena's Blog and see her lovely artwork with this paper pack.
If you would like any of the products used please message your consultant, Or ME HERE

Atlantic Sketch #185 meets blues

Hello Crafty Friends,
   This weeks sketch at Atlantic Hearts Challenge is very versatile. My card came together supper quick! Here is the sketch...

I pulled out my woodland wishes stamp set and die's and cut the snowflake and banner and just inked them in glacier ink and pacifica using the rock and roll technique, dry embossed the background, some ribbon from my stash and there you go!

My card also meets the criteria at Heart 2 Heart challenge blog to make a Christmas card without using red or green :)

Hope you will join me in these challenges
