No place like happy, Holiday card. FMS312




So, today you get to see my fat fingers.  Seems to be the only good way to show off the embossed sentiment. It's so pretty in person, but the washi tape isn't showing well on the upper part of the card now.   Take it from me, it's really pretty in person. 

I'm playing along with Freshly Made Sketches this week.  I really enjoy their challenges so tend to do them fairly often.   The team cards are a great inspiration.    Here is the challenge for this week and link to it.

It's hard to tell, but I used Very Vanilla here.  I don't usually, I love just white, but the VV goes so well with the gold DSP that I used.   The sentiment is from 2015. Sorry about that, but I didn't have anything current that matched what was in my head.  It's quite a mess up in there, trust me. LOL.

I used 2 different sets for the greenery, but either one would work just fine alone.   I decided I didn't want a dark green and the Lemon Lime Twist turned out to be perfect, along with Real Red.  It's embossed in gold and I used my new Blends SU Alcohol markers to fill in just a bit of the sentiment.

I hope you enjoy and I can give you a bit of inspiration along with the team.

Sharing the Joy, A Christmas card. FMS311


Ok, officially I love this set every bit as much as I thought I would.  Not sure why I waited so long, oh yeah, I'm not rich, can't have it all especially all at one time.

The sketch is for Freshly Made Sketches for this week. Go here to check out the challenge.
I had so many ideas and really wanted to use more of the goodies in this set, but there just wasn't room.   I'll be making lots more of my Christmas card with it though.  And yes, every Christmas card you see on my blog gets sent.   It's how I get my cards done. Makes it much more fun.

I used: Old Olive, Espresso, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bermuda Bay and Cherry Cobbler.  My dog is filled in using the brand new Blendies (alcohol markers).  I didn't get all the colors in the short period we had to pre order, but they are available again, now. Starting the 1st of Nov.  I'll be getting the rest. Anyway, I filled in using my watercolor pencils.

I used up the very last 3 of my red candy dots. I miss those. I used them all the time. The DSP is Merry Little Christmas.
