Verve Sketch and Inspiration Challenge

I made this card for the Verve November Sketch 2 and the Inspiration Challenge

I also used the Verve Beyond Measure for the Second November sketch, as well as the Inspiration Challenge, this nativity is so adorable!  I added lots of texture with embossing folders, as well as some sponging.

Verve November Sketch

I'm participating in the November Verve sketch.

For the first November sketch I chose the three kings and star from the Verve Beyond Measure stamp set.  I sponged a holly die and added large glitter for a sparkly effect.

Bear it

It's time for the My Favorite Things weekly sketch 306

I converted the sketch to a square, my favorite card shape, and added the adorable bear from the MFT BB Polar Bear Pals stamp set.  I started with a large stitched square made with the Blueprints 8 Die-namics, stamped with a MFT Background stamp.   The snowy strip was made with vellum paper and stamped with white pigment ink.  I cut out snowflakes from the Let it Snowflake Die-namics and the Pierced Fancy Flourish Die-namics out of water color paper and sponged them with die ink then added lots of chunky glitter.  The white accent dots were made with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Gloss White.

Snowman and Friend

I'm playing along in the My Favorite Things Sketch 305.

I created a snowy scene on a MFT Double Stitched Oval Stax Die-namics in Kraft after stamping the piece with the MFT Gingham Background stamp. The snowman and friend are from the Cooler With You Card Kit.  The greeting is from the BB Santa's Elves set on a tag from the Blueprints 21 Die-namics. Other Die-namics used are Stitched Scallop Edges, Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Banner Stax, and Blueprints 8,  Birch Trees.  The holly is by Cottage Cutz.

ODBD Color Challenge

Our Daily Bread Designs has a pretty color challenge this month.

I ended up using all of the colors, but you can use as few as 3 if you like.

I heat embossed the ODBD Baby Jesus and colored him with SU markers.  The image is mounted on the Filigree Frames Dies.  I had lots of fun making the poinsettias using the Peaceful Poinsettia Dies, adding some distressing and chunky glitter.  The foliage was made with the Lovely Leaves Dies.
