Merry Christmoose!

Hello Hello

Today I am sharing a card I made quick for the 52 Christmas Card Throw Down Challenge. This week is a sketch challenge. I don't believe i have participated in this challenge before - and I LOVE making Christmas Cards so maybe I will play along with this one more often. 

I had a few left over A*Muse Moose images left over from a prior card, so I colored it with copics. The sentiment is from a very old MFT set - that surprisingly I've never used..........So I'll leave that on my desk to play with maybe sometime this week :) The patterned paper is from my scrap stash (It's SU) and the embellishment is also SU (from last year's Occasions Catalog). I also used Gina K White (layering and base), Fresh Asparagus Cardstock and Ink (Gina K), Kraft Cardstock (Gina K), Bling (SU) and an older Cuttlebug Embossing folder. 

Sorry for the poor photography, not much natural light to work with as it's been cloudy and rainy all day. Ugh! 

Here is the sketch:

TMS #476 - Trick or Treat

Hello Hello ~ 

I'm playing along again with Tuesday Morning Sketches #476 this week and I made a halloween card for my nice. The sentiment is from Stampin Up, Patterned paper from Doodlebug Design. The super cute witch girl is from a leftover card kit and I don't know which company she is from. I colored her in with markers (mostly the new Stampin Up Blender Markers - totally LOVE them). The pumpkin banner is a punch from Martha Stewart. 

Below is the sketch:

Hello Hello ~

Here is my 2nd challenge card I worked on today (to see the first one - please scroll down a post).

The sentiment is from Gina K Designs (Stamped with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peeled Paint) Images are from Amuse (Wood Mount) & are cut with the Scan-N-Cut2 M350 & colored with prismacolor markers. 

Here is the sketch. This sketch challenge encourages lots of white space so I was excited to make a simple cute card!
