As You See it - staying dry

 

This is for the As You See It challenge this week. The theme Staying Dry. This is an image from Sassy Cheryl design. The sentiment is from Stampendous. The background stamp of water drops I am not sure of the source. They were stamped in blue distress oxide ink. The image is colored in copic markers. This took me about 10 minutes to put together.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 587

 

I try to do a couple of challenges a month that do Christmas cards throughout the year, because that is how I enjoy creating mine each year. I don't make duplicates and each card is unique even if I might use some of the same images or themes for them. So, when I saw that the C.R.A.F.T. challenge this week was Christmas themed. So this cute digital from Sassy Cheryl was sitting there ready to be colored and put on a card. I stamped the bottom panel of the background with a background stamp from Rubbernecker, used a cute design paper for the upper panel. I mounted it on a green card base. The digital image from Sassy Cheryl I colored with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment, added a gold chrome strip across the background. As embellishments I punched holly leaves and used sequins for the berries. 

Here is where you can find this challenge:

Christmas challenges for Valentines

 I love taking part in challenges that present a Christmas challenge out of season. It helps me to get some cards done all through out the year and makes me less busy trying too fit all my card making into the short season that is just before Christmas when life gets busy with decorating, gift buying, and other things that pop up. So this card I made tonight is one for two challenges that both have Christmas themes this week: the Krafty Chick challenge 546 with the theme of Christmas and the Crafty Hazelnut Christmas Challenge 529 that is an anything goes with a use of some green on it. So here is my card that I hope meets all the criteria for each: 

I used up some leftover scraps for my background and used a diigital from Sassy Cheryl designs for the angel image and a joy diecut for my sentiment. Some of the gold chrome paper like the star did not photograph so well in my night ligting situation but  thought it turned out pretty cute!  

You can find these two challenges at these blogsites below:

I colored the image with colored pencils.  

Cardz 4 Galz challenge - weather (any knd)

It is a  cold, rainy day in my part of Texas today. So, it seemed quite appropriate to do this weather challenge over on the Cardz 4 Galz blogsite. The digital is from Sassy Cheryl designs. The sentiment is from Unity stamps. Thank goodness it is not flooding here, but I thought this paper was cute for this challenge as well.
