Sketch Spotlight Callenge GKD

Hi everybody!!! Hope you are staying warm, I am because I'm staying inside. Too cold and windy. So I made a couple of cards and here is the one I made for Gina's Sketch challenge.
Pretty cool sketch, and it was very fast and easy. The last time I was in Michael's I picked up a card pack out of their dollar bin. It looked just like sweaters. I stamped my image on it and cut it out. While the ink was wet I used a q-tip to wipe out the snow flakes and then let it dry good before handling it. The beauty of this is, I have the envelopes that came with it!

The stamps I used are from Rupa Shevde's set " Warm and Wonderful" by Gina K. Designs.
I'm off to cook dinner, have a great week and stay warm!!!

Speedy's Friends Challenge#30

Hi all! For today challenge at Speedy's Friends , I'm asking you to use a circle or circles on your card or project. Easy right!!

Hope you can join us and Remember, for every 50 entries we get there is a winner of a stamp set from MFP!! If you use MFP stamps, you are entered twice and you can enter more than once.

GKD Release Challenges

Hi there! I have a couple of cards I made for the Nov. challenges over at Stamp TV. There are 3 challenges but not sure I will be able to get to the last one. The first card here is Theresa's challenge to make a card using a odd number. I used 5 gold beads on the tag. The stamp set I used is from GKD. "Very Merry Christmas" by Theresa Momber. I enlarged the holly image by stamping it and then enlarging it in my printer. The image was colored with copic's and the DP is Basic Grey. Nesties and a gold pen by Mavry.



This card is for the challenge Lee has, to make a holiday card but use non- traditional colors. I used Pink and Brown. The stamp set is Melanie Muenchinger's " Festive Frame" by GKD. I used copic's and DP is Basic Grey. I sponged around the image with Memento.


Well, that's all I have today, thanks for stopping by.
