MUSE #196 - Faith

Here's Tracey's beautiful card....

A friend going through some tough times.  She knows the Lord, her biggest support, but I wanted to send a little support to...  I started with the main die cut out of foil paper, then inlaid the colors that I also die cut.  I then used the big swoopy stamp and its finishing stamp.  I also used a corner punch and added a colored strip underneath bring a little color to the bottom.

Here's my card...

Here's Tracey's beautiful card - 

     

I used her die cut at top, swoopy sentiment and lots of white space!

CAS MixUp - December, Fusion - It's Christmas, AND Merry Monday #226

Another card to share, one that is winging its way to the recipient, and hopefully there!  I sponged a background, die cut the snowbank and applied a glitter using double-sided adhesive paper, then die cut and colored the other elements.  After everything was together, I added the sentiment.  Here she be!

This fits nicely into two challenges, so they be headed to:

   CAS Mix-Up (Dec.) - Stamping, sponging, diecuts, Copic coloring and glitter

   Fusion (It's Christmas) -I used both the sketch (which I flipped on the short side), and the photo (the sparkle on the pillow, and white).   Pooh! I missed it -- been caught up in jury duty and when I get home it's too late!!!

     

ETA: Bobby encouraged me to join in at Merry Monday #226 - Winter Fun since I missed out on Fusion!  Thanks for the invite, Bobby!

Happiest of Holidays

Boy!  Is it my imagination or is it feast or famine around here?  Well you know what they say?  "Get it while the gettin's good!"  Kinda my motto these days.   so onto the card...

Another little snowman as cute as can be, he's staying warm by the fire with glee...  well at least for a short bit!  He's quite proud of his little fire, don't you think?  I think he's even inviting you over!  I used a torn bit of white paper, a left over die cut snowflake, and a couple colored and cut images, popped up on foam, and placed over a matchy background rectangle.  There's a bit of WoS on that snowy slope though I don't think you can see it very well, but I promise it's there.  We've had several snows already, none overly big but earlier than usual for us -- I guess that's where my inspiration came from in a few cards.

Well must run, I've got more cards to make and I need to catch up with all of you -- I've been missing the visiting!  Take care, keep warm by the fire (unless you're in warm territory)!

A Couple LF Strings...

I know I haven't been around much, I think I've been behind since we returned from our Thanksgiving trip!  So this'll be a short post, just popping in to share a couple cards.  They are actually similar, just different papers, both use the same layout and die.... so here we go!

This first one uses a pp from The Paper Studio and is in blue and red colors.

This second one uses paper, also from The Paper Studio, but in brick red and teal colors.  On both, I actually used VersaMark Frost on colored paper, then heat embossed several layers of clear ep.  It's a little hard to see, but the shimmer is really pretty.  The inside sentiments (which you can't see...) are from My Craft Spot - Joy To The Woods.

Products:  

  Both cards - TPS papers, Lawn Fawn String of Lights (NBUS), VM Frost, clear EP, DCWV Gold foil and PTI Fine Linen

  Red & blue card - PTI Sweet Blush and Pure Poppy cardstocks; matching inks

  Red & teal card - PTI Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist cardstocks

Thanks for stopping by and taking a gander; I know everyone has busy schedules and I appreciate your friendships!
