FMS616 Winter Wishes

Happy Thursday, peeps!  Winding down towards the weekend! I am still making Christmas cards because I actually make Christmas cards all year long, LOL!  So the FMS sketch called to me:

because I was looking through my stash of retired DSP and I found this one that I thought would look pretty with it:

I have a real mix of old and new here!  The DSP is from the retired Painted Christmas along with some retired Shaded Spruce DSP for the accents.  The sentiment is from Magical Meadow, diecut with the Nested Essential die, then accented with some Sweet Sorbet banners, also from the same die set:

Brightest Glow provided the inside sentiment, and I used some greenery from an older set called Winter Wishes and some berry "dots" from some set...can't remember which, LOL!

I love these traditional Christmas colors and this sketch is super-versatile!

A few more photos from Longwood!

Here's the restored red truck that was featured on the Longwood blog a couple weeks ago.  Forgive John...he hates having his picture taken! A volunteer took the photo as well...it's not the best, LOL!

It had its own license plate and wreath, decorated with red-truck ribbon:

And breathtaking views:

It boggles my mind when I think about how much time, planning and man-power it takes to put this all together!  Thanks for stopping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Happy Wednesday, all!  My card today was a quick, easy one, and it uses a fun technique I haven't done for a while....coloring your stamps with markers!  I used the Just Add Ink sketch (oops...missed the deadline!):

And here we go:

My image comes from the Magical Meadow stamp set.  I placed the stamp in my Stamparatus and inked up the stems first, using an Old Olive marker.  Then I inked the buds in Calypso Coral and stamped, then went back and added some darker shading at the bottom of each bud with a Poppy Parade marker.  The sentiment from Timeless Arrangements was heat embossed in gold and both were diecut with the Nested Essential Dies.  I added some gold pearls for a wee bit of interest, then it all went on a panel of All About Autumn DSP:

I am also entering this at Little Red Wagon, where their theme is "Thanks a Lot"!

I forgot how fun it was to do this!  Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
