Winter Friends - SCS 298

This card was made for the sketch challenge over at Split Coast Stampers. Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is hoasting the challenge this week.
This card was made with one of the new releases from Sweet 'n Sassy called Winter Friends. Instead of coloring it in this time, I did paper piecing on it then went over the papers with the Spica Glitter Pens. There's a slight glimmer as you move the card.

The papers and ribbon are from the Mistletoe Creative Basics pack from Close to my Heart. The glitter on the snowman is Diamond Dust and the Snow under the snowman is Faux Flower Soft and prisma glitter.

There are red sparkles for the holly berries.
The Hand Stitching was done with matching Embroidery Floss.

June Rose - SCS Sketch 269

Well here we are again with another snowy day. However, it is so beautiful outside. God sure paints Gorgeous pictures. Doesn't He?
Yes, I have been wanting winter over, and my cards are all designed for Spring, but with such beauty, how can I complain.

Today is Sweet 'n Sassy Digi day over at SNR. The challenge there is to create a card using stripes. So, why not make a card and hop on over to SNR (link above) and show us your card. All instructions will be given there. You will receive a FREE Digi just for playing along and submitting your card by 10:00 PM est. tonight. If you have your card submitted by 10:00 PM est on Monday, your name will go in for a drawing to win $10 in Digi's from the SNSS Store.

Now onto my card. The inspiration for this card came from the Split Coast Stampers sketch 269, and the Challenge of stripes over at SNR.
The Digi  image is called June Rose and was just released the other day at Sweet 'n Sassy. It is in the collection of Birth Month Flowers by our ever talented Leah Cornelius. It was printed from my computer and colored in with Copic Markers.
The edges of the roses were then topped with stickles glitter for just that little bit of sparkle.

The papers, ribbon and brads are from Close to my Heart and the punches used are from Fiskars.
The Hand Stitching around the card was done with matching Embroidery Floss.

Just Chicken In - SC267

My card today was inspired from this weeks Split Coast Stampers sketch 267.

When I saw this sketch I was overly excited because I had these fabulous Digi stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps in my mind to create it. The digi's are called Henrieta Hen & Spring Chicks.  I'm so glad that my mind and my paper came together.

The images were colore with Copic Markers.

The designer paper I used is retired paper from Close to my Heart. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder to give the yellow behind the chicks a little texture.

After I printed out the sentiment, I cut it with a Nestabilities die and sponged the inside edges with matching ink from CTMH.

The edges of the card were Hand Stitched with matching embroidery floss.
