More Merry Messages with Cute Critters

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENG E# 568. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 558 - Tip top Chocolate Wonder with dessert of die cuts or punches. My cute feeding deer is for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 352 - Holiday/Winter Critters.  I used the ornament for the circle on the sketch and popped it up. I sponged watermelon wonder and tip top taupe ink on the ornament attached the deer and then added stickles for snowy effect.

I stamped the sentiment on the front in choc chip. The inside and envelope were stamped in watermelon wonder. I hope you like it.

Cute Critters with Winter Wishes

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 558 - Tip top Chocolate Wonder with a dessert of die cuts/punches. This is also for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 561 - Box Card and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 352 - Holiday Winter Critters. Now how could I resist using all of these together. I was not sure about the box card, afraid it was far from CAS but was wrong again. It was very quick and simple.

A Lotus for your Birthday

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 556 - Tempting Red Petals, for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 559 - A CASe In Point where I choose today to CASE my ROSE BIRTHDAY CARD and used a technique that I loved called TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE 551 - COLOR BLOCKING WITH CARD STOCK. This is also for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 350 - To Grandma's House we go. I know nothing about my father's mother since I was 3 yrs old when my parents divorced and my mom moved us from Indiana to GA with her mother. She passed away when I was only 4 but I do remember everyone talking about how she could stick her thumb in a pot with dead flowers and bring them back to life so this is in the honor of those memories. I color blocked with primrose petals and real red cs the top layer of the flower and the HB sentiment. I embossed the tempting turquoise panel with Darice Brick Wall embossing folder.

I stamped the sentiments on the inside and envelope in tempting turquoise ink. I hope you like it and off to work I go. Have a blessed day everyone.

More Itty Bitty Merry Christmas Messages

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 559 - A CASE in point where we were to make a selection from the lists. I chose to REDO last Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 558 - White Silhouettes while CASing my LOVELY DECORATING SNOWMAN CARD. I left off the snowman. After loading last week I thought duh, why not have a snowbank with white trees so today I accomplished that. Whoo Hoo. I used a different stamp set today as well. I sponged the ink onto white cs then stamped the background stamp with versamark and added some white detail embossing powder and heat set it to simulate falling snow. EEK I may have to CASE this one since I left off the stickles on the curvy snow banks that I wanted to add. I was only 4 when my Grandmother passed away but 2 things I remember and have pictures of where a lot of trees in the yard so this is also for today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 350 - Memories of Grandmother's House.

I stamped the sentiment on the front, inside and envelope with Island Indigo ink from More Merry Messages SU Stamp Set. I hope you like it.

Lovely Decorating Snowman

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 558 - White Silhouettes where I stamped my tree in versamark then added white embossing powder and heat set it. This is also for today's CAS349 - Time To Hibernate and for this I inked up my Inky Antics "Decorating Snowman" set and stamped the image in momento tuxedo black once on the white card base and once on white paper which I cut out and used as a mask. After my images where the way I wanted I began sponging at the bottom with soft sky, then pool party then coastal cabana at the top. I love these 3 colors together. I colored the snowman image with copics BG10, 11, 13, & 15, R13 & 15, Y02, and YR23.

The inside sentiment and the tree on the envelope were stamped in coastal cabana. Hope you like it.
