My first card I made for both the Christmas Card Challenge and the Penny Black 'All Sorts Challenge: Punch Away'. I used a Clean and Simple layout from the Clean and Simple Challenge Blog. I put both Liquid Applique and Flower Soft on the snow and Stickles inside the lamp. The white globes on the scalloped punch were purchased at Archivers. I get to go there a lot now that my son is going to college in Minnesota! There's one store right off the freeway, and another in the Mall of America.
Here is a close up of the top of the image so you can see the Stickles and the Flower Soft.
My second card uses the Papertrey Ink Image 'Boards and Beams' and the holiday set that coordinates with it. The sketch is from Midnight Madness and the paper is 'Eskimo Kisses' by Basic Grey. This card is so much prettier in real life. The colors just didn't photograph well.
Here is a close up so you can see more detail:
This card uses a digital image by Cute Daisy May. The sketch is SC295. The cloud is felt that I covered with Flower Soft. I also put Flower Soft on the Primas. The paper is DCWV.
This image was colored with Prismacolored Pencils.
And finally, my last card uses a very old retired Stampin Up! image that an online friend sent me in the mail, so I don't know the name of it. The sketch is SCS296. The large snowflake was cut with a Sizzix Die. I put Liquid Applique and Flower Soft on the main image and glitter on the snowflake. The paper is also DCWV.
And here is another close up of this sweet vintage image.
I already posted my 5th April Xmas card when I did the post on 2 Cute Rubber Stamps.
Have a great day! Amy

I love that house image, it's very similar to one of the new Hero stamps, but looks a little larger to work with. Might need to check it out.

Hi Amy

ReplyDeleteI really like the 3D/texture details on all of these. My fave is the house one becaues of how you paired it with the house printed paper and used non-traditional colors. Way to go getting caught up!
ReplyDeleteAmy- these cards are so wonderful! I like the flower soft for snow with so many of the cards. Your coloring is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Amy these are all gorgeous! Love the texture with the flower soft and liquid applique. Each one sparkles on it's own!
