Christmas landscape - TMS #432

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!

A Christmas card for you today.  Yes, I'm still making and sending them. (Probably will be for awhile yet!)

This week, our sponsor is We Are 3 digital shop.  

Thanks, Bonnie, for providing us with images, paper, and sentiments!!  I used Color Me Christmas digital paper (It should be more aqua, but this is how my printer printed it.), Birds of a Feather (colored version), and Christmas sentiment -- sadly, that sentiment is hidden.  I printed it on the digital paper, and it was printed straight, but I guess I let the paper slip when I cut the panel. :/ So I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  The "mountains" are Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes.  The branches are a MS punch.


Here's our fun sketch for this week...  I can't wait to see how everyone interprets it!!

Challenges...
The Merry Christmas Challenge #45 - anything goes + Christmas
Come And Get It - Christmas
Glitter n Sparkle #268 - anything goes

White poinsettia

Another Christmas card tonight.  This one is all white!  (Except for the sentiment.)

I embossed the BG panel with Cuttlebug Holly Ribbons.  The poinsettia is Darice Layering Poinsettia.  My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Christmas Tags.  It's stamped with Versafine Onyx and cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.  It's not visible in this pic, but I used my Wink of Stella pen on the flower leaves, so they sparkle, too.

My paper, vellum, and ribbon were all from my scrap boxes.  :)  My heart is Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Hearts.  The "I Love You" is  Die-Versions Sweet Wordlets.   It's not visible in the pic, but the "I Love You" paper shimmers.

Bundles of hearts - TMS #369

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  

My card is a sweet one today.  At least in my opinion. ;)

Don't you agree that this little guy is just adorable???   He's Bundle of Hearts from Crafty Sentiments.  He's fussy cut then attached to a Spellbinders Standard Circle and Petite Scalloped Circle.  The main panel is embossed with Darice Dot Background.  All my paper is from my scrap box.  The little charm was out of its pkg, so I don't know where it came from.  Here's a close up...

My image was from our sponsor for this week... Crafty Sentiments!  The prize is 3 digis of the winners choice.  They have some sweet, sweet images!!!

Here's my I've-almost-done-it-enough-to-make-it-a-tradition Sunday evening post... ;)

Feels like spring...

Sadly, it does feel like spring, but I still have this sign hanging on my door...
 

Somehow I don't think it's gonna happen this year.  So sad!!!   I do like spring, but we never really had a winter!!   [Excuse my whining.]  Here's my card...

My image and sentiment are FTHS Digging Dog.  My doggie is colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  My green cardstock is embossed with Sizzix Roses.  My DP is MME Dolled Up.   The faux stitching is from a We R Memory Keepers Sew Stamper.  My bit of natural ribbon is attached with a fancy staple... I used my Fastenater.  I don't think I've used that in a few years!!  {One of those... "Oooh!  I want that!" - gets used a few times - sits for months!}

Love - TMS #337

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!   Today is Groundhog Day.   Yes, I'm hoping for 6 more weeks of winter since we really haven't even had a winter in my part of the world yet!  Our snow has been sadly missing this year. :(  

Ok, I'll stop whining and show you my Valentine card...

My sentiment is Doodle Pantry Unfailing Love.   I changed the color of it in paint.net then layered it slightly offset for this effect.  My DP is MME Bohemia and Canvas Corp Blue & Ivory Mini Dot Reverse.  The circle is embossed with CB Love Language.  I inked the edges of the circle and banner with VersaMagic Perfect Plumeria.
