Reindeer Already?

Yes, it's true, I've started making Christmas cards for this year! This particular card is for Merry Monday #90 using ribbon or twine. 

I started with this cute reindeer stamp from, I think, Fiskars stamped in Fresh Ink Chocolate. It's layered on black card stock and red Bazzill. I added a red Triveni ornament on his antler. Next I took some black/white baker's twine and colored it with SU Real Red and put it aside to dry. For the sentiment, I pulled out something from The Angel Company who is no longer in business. It's stamped in SU Real Red on white card stock and layered with more red Bazzill. I have no idea where the polka dot paper is from but it's been around forever. The whole thing is layerd on more Bazzill.

PS: Make sure your twine is completely dry before using or you'll get red smears all over your polka dots!

Witches and Pumpkins and Copics...oh my!

I hauled out my Copics for these two cards. I simply adore the first image from Endless Creations. It makes me smile every time I see it. The papers are DCWV and card stock. The sentiment and punches are SU. The second card has all of the same papers, but the image is from The Angel Company. It also uses an OWH sketch.

Have a spooktacular day!

VCMP Challenge Six: Sketch 136

Our next challenge comes from Linda at Creepin' Along. She wants us to do a card using the new sketch that came out on Sunday. This works for me since I'm trying to work my way through all of the sketches. I'm only on 77 now, so by the time I get to 136 I'll probably forget I already did it lol.

I used some scraps I had laying around for this one. The flowers are from The Angel Company, which sadly is no longer in business. The base DP is some I've had around forever and am glad to see it almost gone. I used Stampin' Up! ink colors Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive. The brown is distressed with black Memento. The circles are done with Nestabilites and the sentiment is Hero Arts. For a bit of shine, I added Pearl Pen dots to both sides of the sentiment.

 

Whew! Only four challenges to go!
