Thanksgiving card with sweet and sassy stencil and digital

 

I am taking a little break for a few days to participate in the Sweet and Sassy stampathon to help then celebrate their 15th birthday. I have enjoyed collecting stamps and stencils from them over the years and have recently started collecting digitals from there as well. Digitals are great for sentiments because you can size them the size you want and being stored on the computer is an easier place to find them and takes up less space for me. LOL

I used this brand new digital for fall being offered right now and I love coloring images so this one was really fun to work with I used my Sweet and Sassy crocheted doily stencil for the background by blending distress oxide inks for my stenciling. I colored the image with copic markers.

As You Like It Challenge - non-traditional Christmas colors

I like using pink as a non-traditional color, and with this one I used this striped design paper to coordinate the light green and teal and red with it. These colors are fun and striking and grab attention of their own during a season when red and green dominate.  This card was made for the As You Like It challenge this week.

Christmas Kickstart #67 Trees, trees, trees

Krafty Chicks 637 Christmas

'Tis the season to get going on those Christmas cards, and I love finding these Christmas card challenges to give me the motivation I need to get going. I have a huge collection of die cut sets and so many of them are for the Christmas and winter season, so I made use of some of them for this card that I made for the Krafty Chicks Challenge #637. I have teasingly given myself the challenge to make use of  every Christmas die I have to make my cards this year. It would be an awesome goal for me, and it would be a fun way to create with different ones coming together for a card. I might also add here that I guess I am somewhat ADHD when it comes to card making because I never want to make any two alike. The fun is in the creative part for me, not always the perfection of the product.

I love the simplicity of the a Silhouette, a lot of companies have them whether they are stamps or dies.

Here is my card for this week:

   

I stenciled the background with a stencil from A Colorful Life using blue distress oxide inks. The stamp set is from Sweet and Sassy.. The ground was made with black torn paper. I used some small rhinestones as stars. I have been working on Christmas cards all week so used this theme for one of them.
