Holly Jolly Card

Card

Close-Up with Diamond Glaze

Another festive Christmas Card!  This one features the Tiddly Inks Digi Christmas Pixie.  You can find her here.  By the time Christmas actually rolls around...I might be sick of it all ready!  Nah...it'll never happen.  I have to admit that I am one of those annoying people that loves the holidays.  Please feel free to remind me of this come December when I am complaining about how stressed out I am!  LOL!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

I colored the Christmas Pixie with my Prismacolor Pencils and Blender.  Then inked, sanded and distressed the image.  I then added the Diamond Glaze to the Pixie's leaves-I forgot how much fun it can be!  While I waited for it to dry-I worked on the rest of the car-cutting a scalloped oval to mat the image and stamping the sentiment (from a Studio G stamp) onto another oval.  I used matching pattered paper from an old Christmas Scrapbooking Set from KI Memories.  I put the card together using the sketch above from Bunny Zoes Crafts!

You are so Sweet Card

Fighting a cold and not feeling so hot but I had to do this card because I just love Karber Digital Images-they are too cute!  I used ice cream Jenny for this card-you can find her here.

I colored Jenny using my Copic Sketch Markers and cut her out.  I mounted her on a white circle (pre-inked, sanded and distressed of course!) with foam adhesive and a scalloped circle cut with my nestabilities in my quickutz revolution.  I used some pattered paper from my stash and assembled the card according to the sketch (above) from Tuesday Morning Sketchers.  I stamped the sentiment using some little letter stamps from Studio G, added some blue pearls and added some crystal stickles to the ice cream (I just couldn't resist!)

Just Saying Hello Card

For this card I knew I wanted to use a butterfly-it was tough to choose (Somehow I own several butterfly stamps!) but I ended up using one from an old Stampin Up collection.

Sketch Saturday #121

Inspiration Photo-Off The Wall Craftiness

I colored my pretty lil' butterfly with Prismacolor Pencils, blended it with my blending pencil and gamasol,  waited for it to dry and cut the it out.  I added crystal stickles and while it dried I put together the rest of the card to match the sketch above.  I used some Bazzill Cardstock and some coordinating patterned paper by Three Yellow Bicycles that matched my color scheme perfectly!

I used a Magnolia Doo-Hickey's Die (Old Swedish Lace) to cut the border on the patterned paper and a Nestibiliites Scalloped Circle.  I stamped my sentiment (from hero arts) and inked and distressed all the layers.  Finally I added the butterfly using foam tape, two flowers with buttons and string bows.  (Just a note-I couldn't find any grey flowers in my stash so I used the back side of some Prima flowers...Can you believe the other side is glittery bright blue!)
