Theme: Anything goes / Snowman

I had fun creating this fun snowman card. The snowman was a piece from Quick quotes. I took a red card stock and using an embossing folder ran it through and then took a white ink pad and swiped it across the embossed area. I heat set it.. I then added the image to a piece of QQ green piece and added to the card.

Make my Monday #260

Theme: Fun with stencils

I was over to another friends house and got to use her craft room and create. I found this Gina K stencil and so I used my Quick Quote chalk ink and created this lovely design.  I brought it home and finished creating the card adding the sentiment and heart. I softly went around the white area with my blending brush that probably had Ranger ink on it that was blue. Just to soften the white.  I am sending this to my daughter and son in law this month.

Theme: Any shape but rectangle / or use washi  

I made an arched card. I bought a set from Amazon and don't recall the name of the set but I sure like them and there are 16 different sizes. I used Quick quote designer paper which is beautiful and took a scrap that happened to go well with it and stamp the Stampers anonymous in Stampin up ink and went around the edges with Ranger after I used a Spellbinder rectangle die. I added a few diamond drill left over from a diamond painting I've done.

Theme: Include Merry 

I still had some of this beautiful paper from Quick quote so used it for the background. I used some card stock and die cut the Simon Says sentiment out about 4 times and layered.. I have some gold sparkle ink and tapped it on the sentiment and set is aside to dry out. later I added the sentiment and tapped ever so lightly the ink again as it soaked in. I added some gold gems. In person this is really pretty. Computer doesn't do it justice..

I'm the host this challenge so I chose:

Theme: Christmas 

I used Quick quote scraps and created my card. Love their dp's.  I had this sentiment and I don't know who it's from.. I heat embossed it. The birds are a die I cut at my friends house. I don't know who they are by but love them. I should of die cut a lot more.. I may have to borrow it or find out who it's from and buy it.. I added a little color with Ranger inks. I added the eyes that are tiny gems from Taylored Expressions. This was a fun simple card with a festive flair.
