Christmas Reindeer

Hello friends!  I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring products from My Favorite Things!  

I cut a panel of bristol card and heat-embossed snowflakes from various stamp sets in my stash.  I inked the panel with Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks.  I used a paper towel to remove the ink over the snowflakes and splattered the panel with water.  I attached the panel to my card along with a die cut snowy slope.  I die cut the Stacked Merry Die-namics from both red and white card stock, adhered the die cuts together, and adhered it to my card.  I heat-embossed the Christmas sentiment on black card stock and adhered it to my card with foam tape.  I stamped the Reindeer Love reindeers on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I used a black gel pen on the eyes and noses and then adhered the reindeer to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

You're Wonderful

Hello crafty friends!  I hope you're having a fabulous weekend.  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the sketch challenge over on the My Favorite Things Blog!

This sweet image is from the My Favorite Things Pure Innocence collection and it's called Loads Of Thanks.  This stamp is no longer available in the MFT Shop but there are other Pure Innocence stamps available so stop over and check them out!  I cut a piece of Doodlebug Design paper 5.25" x 5.5" for the base of my card.  I used the Stitched Circle Stax die to cut a circle from white card stock and inked it with Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink.  I splattered the circle with white gouache and adhered it to my card.  I stamped the image on Neenah card stock, colored it with copics, and die cut it using the coordinating dienamic.  I used a black gel pen on the girl's eyes and the buckles on her overalls.  I adhered the image with foam tape.  The sentiment is from a stamp in my stash.
