Season's Greetings


Happy Wednesday everyone!
I had some fun with a new to me stencil and a great color combo.  The stencil is called checkmate by Wendy Vecchi.  I sponged Tumbled Glass Distress ink over the stencil.  I then stamped the snowflakes from Clearly Whimsy's Sparkle & Shine stamp set.  The sentiment is also from Whimsy Stamps set called Snowflake Wishes.  I embossed that with silver embossing powder.

I am entering over at Can you Case it: Color Challenge!


I also am entering over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday where they have a fun sketch. 
I did take some liberties with the sketch but you can still see my inspiration from the sketch.

 

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Sparkle & Shine, Snowflake Wishes (Whimsy Stamps)

Merry Monday #186


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Lesley challenges us to create a White on White Christmas card.


 I love white on white Christmas cards, but they are so hard to photograph.  I used embossing paste and a new to me stencil by Hero Arts for my background and then embossed the sentiment from Lil' Inker Designs using silver embossing powder.  Added some silver cord with a bow to finish it off.
  Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog.

 I hope you will join us!  
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  All the Christmas You'll Ever Need stamp set (Lil' Inker)
Accessories:  Silver cord (Wal-mart), Stitched Circle Dies (Lil' Inker)
