Merry Monday #280 – Tis The Season…

Hello, Happy Monday! It’s time for another challenge over at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is brought to you by Kelly. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card using the inspiration photo below.

For my design this week I kept things pretty simple, I used the patterned paper from the SSS Limited Edition Christmas 2017 Kit. The greenery from the trees in the patterned paper reminds me of the topiary plants on the table in the photo.

I used the SSS Stars & Dot stencil to add stars to the background and heat embossed with SSS Fine Detail Gold (EP), The sentiment is from the Essentials By Ellen – Season To Sparkle stamp set, I heat embossed it as well with the Gold (EP). To finish my design I die cut the patterned paper panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered unto an A2 Top Fold Neenah (80lb) card base.

Crafty Supplies
Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), SSS Limited Editions Christmas (2017) Kit patterned papers.
Stamp: Essentials By Ellen (Season to Sparkle)
Ink: VersaMark Clear
Accessories: SSS Fine Detail Gold (EP), SSS Stars & Dot Stencil

Sketch Saturday #503 – Best of Luck

Hello and welcome back to another fun week over at Sketch Saturday… This week we have an amazing sketch created by Claire, our sponsor is Fabrika Fantasy. You should head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team.

For this weeks design I stamped an image from the MFT 4-Leaf Clover onto X-Press It Blend card and colored with various Copic Markers. I die cut the panel with Lawn Fawn Stitched 4-Bar Rectangle die. I had a scrap of patterned paper that I die cut with the same die, The background strips were cut out of Bazzill Basics Paper (Arsenic Lace -Janet Hopkins 6×6) pad and SU (Real Red
cardstock). The panels and strips were adhered unto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White (80lb) card base.

Hope you like my take on this weeks sketch.
