Inspired by a Christmas Carol

This week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge, Meighan, is our hostess, and she has asked us to make a card inspired by a carol, I have chosen the set by Stampin up called Evergreen, which as the words to Silent Night on it. I love this set. I  have stamped it on velum in pear pizzazz, and Early Espresso, then cut out with oval and place a very vanilla oval behind, I then used designer paper from last year's Candlelight Christmas set, and cut it out using the Apothecary die. I used champagne glitter paper for the star and scallops, then finished it of with a double bow and ribbon using the vanilla seam binding. Thanks for looking

Retirement Cards

 

Sketch time at Come and Get It this week. Julie has provided us with the sketch.  My card was made for a gentleman that asked me to make him two retirement cards. One if for a male and the other a female, this is what I came up with for the male. The card was made using the Open Sea set from Stampin up along with the Teeny Tiny wishes set. The background of the ship was masked then sponged with Soft Sky and Bermuda Bay. then took the mask off and stamped the ship image in Early Espresso. The designer paper is retired from the Woodland walk set, which  is available as a download. The sentiment was stamped on an oval then sponged with Bermuda Bay, and then mounted onto Artisan Label punch which will be available on May 31st. Oh the Soft Sky and Bermuda Bay are colors coming back into the core colors of Stampin Up as of May 31 as well. Thanks for looking. The second card is not the sketch but the second card I made for the lady retiring.

Sewing is the Theme

Sewing is the theme for this weeks Challenge at Fairy Tale Challenges, We also have a sponsor, Peppercus, which they supplied us with images, and papers. This is the little bird sitting in front of his bird house is one of their digital stamps, and the paper is a paper designed to go with it. I've colored it using Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, and Gumball Green with aqua painter, and I've stitched it to a piece of Early Espresso. and then this is put on one of the pieces of designer paper, and then onto another piece. a simple layout for sure. The sentiment is from a Close To My Heart set, called card sentiments. Thanks for looking
