Here's my card for this week's Sweet Stop sketch SSS128 found here. They're doing a blast from the past and using an older sketch for the challenge. I used a blast from the past from my stash by using wild wasabi and purely pomegranate cardstock. The image is by all night media, stamped in wasabi ink and touched up with a Tombow marker for the trunk. I dotted the tree using a matching Tombow marker and also did some faux stitching. The sentiment is from SNSS Christmas tags, and I used the same marker to add the dots. A few mini brads finished this simple card for my Christmas stash.
This is for the SC353 sketch challenge found here. This color combination still works for me and probably always will. I used a sizzix ef for the background, and a G studio stamp for the sentiment. All I had to do was add some ribbon, a bow, and a heart brad and this card was done in a flash!Ok, the SUN is actually making an appearance in PA today, so I'm going to go out and run some errands. Have a great Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Well, can I just say that I love both of your cards today, Miss Carol...but the 2nd one really touches my heart!! I love the embossing and ribbons but LOVE the sentiment!!!! Awesome job on both!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now that I am permanetly back in PA, I hope we can soon meet up over at L&L for another day of stamping! :)
These ARE loveeeeely! (Honestly, your use of texture always astounds me!) THESE are fabulous! So glad you are getting treated to some sun today, as WE are getting some too! {We've had a bizarre early "November" thing going on - I'm totally confused by the weather!} One good thing about stange/winter weather - it makes for goooooood crafting! Enjoy your day! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteCarol, Both of your cards are beautiful. I love both of the ef in your first card. Probably my two favorites. Purley Pomegranate is also one of my favorite colors. I like the dots along with your sentiment. Your second card is simple and elegant all at the same time. Love that ribbon and the ef. Terrific sentiment.
ReplyDeleteLove all the embossing on these great cards! Both are just gorgeous. I'm thinking I need to look for the hearts embossing folder too. So pretty.

Love both of these, Carol! The stitching you did around the tree frames it beautifully, such a great, homespun touch!
