It's begining to look like Christmas. FMS304, Merry Christmas
I just can't stop using this stamps set. The demo's in my group have been saying that since their orders started arriving. But it happens, and so I really don't usually think to much about it when they say that. But honestly! I really can't stop. I took this fall set and I'm still using it and for Christmas. It's so much fun trying out color combinations! It's a 2 step stamp set, for both the flower and the leaves.
First you stamp the background for this, then over top the detailed stamp. I used Lemon Lime Twist for the bottom and Tranquil Tide for the top, such different colors, but it works! I've turned my flower into a wreath today. I actually have a totally different card doing the same thing and in different colors I'll be posting, so watch for that one.
Simple, simple, stamped the holly leaves on the card base, cut the white strip, then the Lemon Lime strip just 1/8" wider. After stamping my wreath, I cut that out, the a slighter larger scallop round then a slighter larger Tranquil Tide round. Stamped Merry Christmas using Mistletoe Friends.
So, here is Freshly Made Sketches sketch for this week, be sure to STOP BY and check out the teams cards, they always do a bang up job!

Merry Monday #218, Joy
I love how the Merry Monday challenge is helping me get my Christmas cards done. Hopefully by the time I need to send them, I'll have enough otherwise it will be crunch time. LOL
This week the inspiration was plaid. I have to admit I am just not a plaid person. I don't like them at all, and I have no idea why. So, I didn't buy the DSP with all the plaids, go figure. I decided to make my own, simply ran my paper throught the big shot then put it back in facing the other direction, and didn't use the #2 tab so it wouldn't flatten the first run. It's a little hard to see in the photo, the white is a big bright. But it worked. I tried using my bryer and running over each run with first Cherry Cobbler then the second run with Emerald Envy, but that turned out ugly. Yuck! White won out.
Colors: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Emerald Envy. Gold foil for the sentiment.

Pals Paper Arts Sketch challenge #310, Make a Wish
We have a very different sketch challenge today, some people hit it right off, but it took some thinking on my part for this one.
Here is the sketch.
What do you think? Easy?
The very first time I saw the new incolor Sweet Sugarplum close to my Rich Razzleberry, I knew they were the same color, Sweet Sugarplum is just a much lighter shade. If youi look at my flowers you will probably think 2 are the same color, but they aren't. I have one of each, and they are done on Watercolor paper. I love using my Aqua Brush, you can get so many more effects the with a marker. See how some areas are lighter and some darker? That is the look I love.
I'm kinda a bit of a control freak. So, this suits me. I used the little stamp in Timeless Textures for the splatter. To get this look for my flowers, I embossed the flowers in white, then colored in as I have said. The Bitty Butterfly is out of a piece of the Playful Palette DSP stack. I sure hope you enjoy.
