Tracy's Sketch Challenge

Here's my take on the SC posted on Tracy's blog.

It scanned a bit crooked...

Still playing with the Figgy Pudding papers, and a new stamp set from Basic Grey. I actually didn't have the right dark green paper, so I used Always Artichoke direct2paper on a piece of olive card stock. I was lucky that I did have red cardstock that was close enough to use with the Ruby Red ink pad. The metal elements are actually salvaged from a card I made at an SU! workshop. (I'm hoping Santa remembers to put some HodgePodge Hardware in my stocking!)

TFL!!! Now I'm off to a craft show that my friend is selling her cards at!

Sketch Challenge

My first SCS Challenge entry- and a double at that!

The guidelines were this layout (SC152) and the following colors (CC142): Certain Celery, Bashful Blue and Basic Grey. I had to cheat. The only color I had was Certain Celery ink.

Stamps: Snowflake from SU! Seasonal Whimsey, Seuss Tree from Wordsworth
Ink: Certain Celery, Brocade Blue (stamped off once)
Cardstock: Local Paper Store (Hollo's in Brunswick for any Ohio-ans peeking in)
Other: Tag made with punch from SU!, Ribbons from Making Memories (green) and JoAnn's (light blue on tag), silver e-z set eyelet from Coffee Break Design (on tag), light green gemstones from Hero Arts, and highlight on snowflakes (that you probably can't see) with a Gellyroll pen.

TFL!

I Confess

So, I didn't really want to go with my sister to Borders on Thanksgiving Eve... And I suppose I didn't have to make her stop at the Archiver's store in the same plaza...And I didn't have to buy the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper pack, or the coordinating Versa Color petal in Sea Breeze...BUT I DID! Here's the first card. Bonus: Finally using my tag maker!

Merry Swinging

I stalked the stamp set (Hampton Arts, "Swinging Christmas") I used for these 2 cards on Addicted to Rubber Stamps for what seemed like forever until they were back in stock! I love them!

This one didn't scan well (can't figure out exactly why), but the sentiment is "Jingle Belle Swing" so I thought it'd be cute to string some mini jingle bells on wire.

Also had scanning probs on this one (the ribbon is much paler in person). I used to hate coloring images, but I love it now that I have the SU! Watercolor Wonder Crayons, which I used here.
