Gorgeous Leaves, Thank you card, #fms508

 

A stranger did something very nice for us, so a special thank you card was in need.  I'm a little late getting this set, but I just saw so many gorgeous cards made using it and had to have it. 

My inspiration for this is this weeks card challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. 

 

So much can be done with this! I also just got the Stitched Greenery embossing plate, it's kind of half embossing and half die cut, I just love it and this was the perfect use.

My colors are:  Cinnamon Cider, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, and basic white. Plus a bit of Blackberry Bliss, I just had to stick that in there. 

The leaf set is Gorgeous Leaves bundle, and the sentiment Inspired Thoughts stamps.  Cut out with the Rectanglar stitched dies.

Thanks so much for stopping in. 

Cat and Dog Nativity, #FF0095, a Christmas card.

 

I found this stamp set a while back and since I am a huge animal person it spoke to me. It was a no brainer to use it for this challenge.

 I don't often see a challenge that actually asks for cats! See all the wonderful projects here.

 I used my SU watercolor pencils for this, I just did a light coverage and then my water brush to blend it a bit, the sentiment and star is on vellum. And a pretty SU ribbon to tie it all together. 

Very simple, I did use the snowflake embossing folder on the gray.

Thanks for taking a look. 

 

Merry and Bright, Freshly Made Sketches #506

 

Inspiration this week comes from the fms#506 challenge. Be sure to check out the team and other players projects!  Go here to do that.

 

Such a fun sketch! So many possibilities.  I'm currently in love with these ornament dies so I just had to use one, this called for it.

My colors are from the Tidings of Christmas DSP, I used Evening Evergreen for the ornament and the shimmer gold in the Holiday mini catalog currently out. A  little gold cording and some Holiday Rhinestone basic jewels finish it off, so simple.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, hope I've given you some ideas.
