PaperWorks Co. Challenge Focus

Hello there ladies and gents...my project for today is for two different challenges...one is for Splitcoastampers WT challenge...this weeks challenge was to use Green...and Green I used. The nexy challenge was to use a sketch...a very simple sketch from Clean and Simple Challenge 115. I lvoe the sketch! My paper was shimmery...can you see it?

I used a vanilla base for the card followed by glorious green and then a shimmery white background. Simple! Then I added some felt flurries snowflakes and pearls...color and VOILA! Card is done! I just LOVE simple Christmas cards!

The main reason I wanted to make this card though was to show you that you CAN use just a small image from a large stamp and still look FANTASTIC! So many people are Affraid of the BIG stamps, but to me they are FUN and versatile!

PWCO. Snowglobe

Today's Sunday sketch over at the PWCO. blog is a fun one! I really enjoyed playing around with it...for my card I did the "spotlighting" technique...super fun and quick when you don't have a ton of time to color the whole image! Most of you know how to do this technique, but for those of you that don't here is the lowdown...

You'll start by stamping 2 of the same image on a piece of your choice cardstock. The you will simply punch one out with a punch where desired. The you will color the small circle image and adhere it to the coordinating slightly larger circle...clear as mud right? Just take a look at my card below!

I choose to use circle, but you can use an aray of shapes, squares, rectangles, ovals and even your nestabilities shapes...super cute huh? I love this Magical Christmas image!

Supplies:

Stamp: A Magical Christmas

Ink: stazon black

Paper: Pixie pink, basic black, prism white

Accessories: small felt flurries, rhinestone brads, snowflake charm, circle punches, watercolor pencils, blender pens

So, what do you think? Easy peasy right? I hope you play along with the sketch...and you get bonus points if you use the spotlighting technique!

Hugs and happy Stampin'

XOXOXOXO

I am lovin' this weeks sketch over at Paperworks Co.! Very sweet and simple if you need to get a bunch of cards made...also great to get rid of those tiny paper scraps you have been hoarding for the past who knows how many years! I choose to get rid of a snippet of ribbon I had laying around...I think it turned out cute and aside from the coloring and waiting for the glue to dry the card came together very quick!

So So simple, but still a very nice Christmas card. I choose to use only a bit of the sentiment...I really liked this bit of it...so true!

Supplies:

Stamps: Oh Christmas Tree

Paper: Kraft, glorious green, Prism White

Ink: stazon black

Accessorries: 5/8 inch grosgrain ribbon, dew drops from Creations by AR, glitter, 2-way glue pen, watercolor pencils, blender pens

I know you wand to play along...you just love the sketch too, I can see it in your eyes! ehehe

Thanks soooo much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hugs and happy Stampin'
