A White Christmas!

Are you dreaming of a "White Christmas"?  If you read my blog much, you probably know that I LOVE snow, but that's not the kind of white Christmas I'm talking about here.  I've got a white on white card (with just some color in the image) to show you... [Sorry for the funky pinkish shading of the pic!  It's not like that on the original. ??]

My image is from Doodle Pantry's French Horn PDF Card Fronts Kit.   This is a wonderful set for any last minute -or several months early- cards.  It's cut out using Spellbinders Standard Circles.  I embossed my white cardstock with CB Swiss Dots and Darice Chevron.  It's lightly embellished with ribbon and adhesive dots from my stash.

Today, Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Sweet Sketch Wednesday's challenge, so please come over and play along!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

A racing motorcycle

I've got a masculine card today.  They are so much more difficult than generic or feminine cards for me!  But I was quite pleased with how this one turned out...

My image is Racing Motorcycle from Doodle Patnry.  It's colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is from Office Chatter.  My DP is Authentique Latest & Greatest. {My previous 2 cards were from this 6x6 paper pad, too, but they are all soooo different!  I love pads like that!}

Another Christmas card!  My pile is slowly growing!! :)

This one was pretty quick and easy...

My image/sentiment are from Doodle Pantry - All Is Calm.   The DP is AC "Let It Snow."  I cut the image and frames with Spellbinders Petite Ovals and Petite Scalloped Ovals.  A bit of red rick rack and it was all done!

Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge!  There is a great sketch, as always, and I've made a card with the sketch using and image from Doodle Pantry - Lil  Gorilla Jungle.

My DP is Prima "Romance Novel."  I embossed the background and 3 squares with a variety of folders... Love is in the Air, Distressed Stripes, Love Language, and Diamonds in the Rough.  The squares are tied with baker's twine.  My image is cut out using Classic Ovals.

Triple stamped thank you

My card tonight is made with a technique that I've never done before... triple time stamping.  And I must confess, the final project is not my first attempt.  I've been working on this for a few days, and there are a couple of tries that sadly ended up in the trash can. :/   But I persevered and have something to show you.  :)

I cut my Neenah Classic Crest cardstock in the shapes I wanted, then stamped the flower which is from Stampabilities and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is Paper Trey Ink.   I added a few buttons to the flowers and here it is!

Challenges...
Clear It Out - thank you + buttons *these are from the first pkg of buttons I ever bought!!!  How's that for using my stash??? :)
Technique Time Tuesday - triple time stamping
Paper Pretties PWC292 - buttons
