Stamping 411

Here is my card for the Stamping 411 Sketch this week. Haven't had much time to play with challenges in the last bit, as I'm trying to catch up on some other things as well as I was back working on Christmas cards again for a bit. I now have 69 done, So I am slowly getting there, as I need 100 for the one order this year, and then some for other people, so have to keep doing a few here and there, but need a break too.
So for this card I used The Open Sea Set, and the Nautical Expedition paper, I used Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy and Cherry Cobbler,  I just love this set and will be sad to see it go so soon after it's gotten here.
Anyway thanks for looking.

Christmas Cards Again

Here is a card I've finished tonight, I used the bells and boughs set from the Holiday Mini last year. The ribbon is the cherry cobbler seam binding and I used the vintage wallpaper embossing folder for the background, and the sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations set. I also used some vanilla smooch spritz on it after it was done, gives it a nice glimmer. I used the sketch from the Stamping 411 site. Thanks for looking

Anyway for this card I used the dasher stamp set along with the woodland walk designer series paper, taffeta ribbon  versamark and gold embossing powder, wild wasabi, garden green and soft suede card stock and wild wasabi ink for the greeting which is from the short and sweet set.

Snowswirled Tree

This card was inspired by the Stamping 411 challenge. As soon as I seen the sketch I knew which set I wanted to use. Oh what a great set this is and can be done in many colors and looks great. I used pacific point ink to color the ribbon, which originally is whisper white, I also used Pacific Point on the snowflakes, but stamped off first as I didn't want them quite as bold as the tree.

Angelic Joy

This card was done for the Stamping 411 Challenge. I used the new Stamp called Angelic Joy from the Holiday Mini catalogue. It has some nice sayings with it as well. I will show you another card later in the week made with her as well. She's so pretty. I colored her with inks and aqua brush, with exception to her halo and wings, they were painted with paint brush using the champagne shimmer paint, the lines in the wings were all I outlined with the paint, didn't want too much.

Stamping 411 Challenge again

This is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch this week. I have a lady at work who asked for some congratulations cards and I didn't have a one in my stash, so here is the first one that I've made, will make about a half dozen more and then she can choose, which she likes. The flower was colored using aqua painter and ink from the rose red ink pad to match the colors of the paper and ink used.
Thanks again for looking
