A Couple More Challenge Cards

Here are a couple more cards.  This first one is for The Shabby Tea Room - Winter Wonderland.  I used the this sketch, added some distressing to the edges of the papers and did some quick stitching.  For the snowflakes cut craft foam with a Cuttlebug die and then covered them with chunky glitter.  The image is from Magic Moonlight.

A friend asked me to make a car for her boyfriend.  I used my Cricut to cut out the couple silhouette and the base.  I stamped the black heart with glue on Stampin Up French Flair background then sprinkled with glitter.  The red heart is attached on foam tape.  The base card is a 5.5" square easle card.  HOTP DP covers the card, which was inked around the edges and cut with deckle scissors.  Used an Inkadinkado stamp under the heart.  JustRite sentiment and border, cut out with Spellbinders.  Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts border, with some pearls on the bottom panel.

Mousy Note And a Whiff of Joy COTW

I haven't done a House Mouse card in ages, and I have a ton of the little critters.  I used the Tim Holtz brick wall folder on the background.  Other DP are scraps from my stash.  Mouse was colored with Copics, my first attempt - still needs lots of practice.  Cut out image with Spellbinders die, chalked around image while still in the die.  The little XO on his note and the sentiment are from Crafty Secrets, and the heart is from Rubber Stamp Tapestery set.

This next card follows the Midnight Madness sketch and also the Whiff of Joy color scheme of chocolate, teal and cream.  I had meant to use Distress Inks to color the image, but used the wrong ink to stamp it.  When the lines started to smear a bit I switched to Prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil.  Not the end result I wanted, but I still like it.  The snowflakes were cut from craft foam with a Cuttlebug die and glittered with ivory chunky glitter.  This card will be my personal quota for my Christmas card of the week (COTW)
