Hi,
One more post tonight. This card uses the current Deconstructed Sketch #75. I kept this one pretty simple using the same Paper Smooches set as with the first card tonight. I love these graphic stamps.
The images are colored with Copics. The papers are all from the TE Christmas Project Pantry kit.

To add a little bling, I added a red rhinestone to each tree and red Stickles to the hearts in Joy and on the large tree.

Supplies
Stamps: Paper Smooches set
Paper: TE green, red and white card stock and Carta Bella Merry & Bright patterned papers
Ink: Memento tuxedo black and Copics

Have a good rest of the week and again, thanks for looking in,

Peace On Earth

Happy Monday evening everyone,

I hope everyone on the East Coast is doing well and is out of harm's way tonight.

I'm squeaking in with my October SFYTT card. The layers on this sure were fun to play with. I used some "new to me" Paper Smooches stamps and Lawn Fawn patterned papers.

The snowman is stamped with Memento tuxedo black and colored with BG70 Copics. Then I smeared Crystal Stickles all over him to make him look nice and icy. I thought that the heart ornament would look kind of like the Earth colored in green and blue Copics. It's popped up on a dimensional on his little twig hand.

Supplies
Stamps: Paper Smooches
Paper: Taylored Expressions medium and light blue card stock, X-Press IT blending card stock, Lawn Fawn patterned papers
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Copics and SU Riding Hood red
Other: Crystal and Red Stickles and dimensionals

Thanks for looking in,
Colleen

Fangtastic!

Good evening all,

I had a very long work day today. I just got home in time to watch the 9th inning of game 1 of the World Series. Go Giants!

Tonight's card is another that I made this past weekend. I followed the current Paper Player's challenge to use a frame, and the current Dynamic Duos challenge of orange and black. The sketch is last weeks Freshly Made sketch. The stamps are from Paper Smoochies.

On Saturday afternoon I went to one of my local stamp stores and bought some Paper Smooches and Lawn Fawn stamp sets. I have been eyeing them in blogland for several months and finally decided that I had to have some, LOL.


Supplies
Stamps: Spookalicious set by Paper Smooches
Paper: Taylored Expressions orange and black card stock, X-Press It blending card stock, Pebbles Tricks and Treats patterned paper
Ink: Memento tuxedo black and Copics
Other: SU Framelits dies, SU googlie eyes, black polkadot tape, the Big Shot, and dimensionals

Only two more work days this week. Can't wait for the weekend. More stamping time.
Thanks for looking in all,
Colleen

Fluttering By With a Birthday Hi

Hi,

Here's another card that I made last weekend. This one is for a good friend's birthday. I used a new sketch challenge (to me) called CAS(E) This Sketch. The stamps are from Taylored Expressions. (Please excuse the photography. For some reason, this turned out really dark)

For the leaves, I used TE dies to cut the shapes from white paper then I sponged them with some fall colored inks. After gluing them on the card front, I added the orange/gold rhinestones. The birdhouse, bird and squirrel are colored with Copics. The background was made with the TE woodgrain Impressions Plate.

Supplies
Stamps: Best Nests set by Taylored Expressions
Paper: SU True Thyme, Really Rust, and Confetti White card stock
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Copics, SU True Thyme, Really Rust, Cranberry Crisp, and Marigold Morning classic ink pads
Other: TE From the Heart Frame die, TE Wood Grain Impressions Plate, TE Mini Leaf dies, Kaiser Rhinestones, the Big Shot, and dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by,
