Bright and Beautiful

It's time for four more cards for the next 'Tis the Season's color challenge.  So far I've managed to keep up with my "resolution"...making four cards every time this challenge is posted.  If I do that I'll have my Christmas cards done by mid October next year for Christmas 2014.  I think I'll like that. :)  I almost didn't come close to keeping it up for this week's card.  I love how they turned out, but they were also a little bit of work...make that a LOT of work! lol   Don't forget to head over to 'Tis the Season to check out what the other designers made and to play along using this week's color combo...Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Midnight Muse.  I loved working with these colors.  The optional trimming is embossing.  I did plenty of that on these cards!  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge card.  I really liked today's sketch because it was pretty simple and perfect for a Christmas stamp a stack card. :)  I was a little lazy and did the spotlighting technique.  Yup, I didn't want to color in the whole picture. lol  It's kind of hard to see the circle in my first picture, so I took a close up too.  **So I totally forgot to give you the link to the Red Hot Stampers Blog to check out the other cards when I first posted this.  Not only should you check out the other cards, but read the post too since we have a special gift for anyone who participates in the month of December.  Click here for all the details!**

There that's a little easier to see. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Well, it's Sunday so anyone who regularly checks out my blog knows I'll at least have something on here for the  Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge.  Anyway, I've been wanting to try this technique after seeing it a couple of times and had to look it up to see what it's called. It's called the spotlight technique...makes sense doesn't it. It was kind of a bugger to get it lined up just right using the oval punch, so next time I do this technique I think I'll make it a square or circle.  I really wanted to use the oval shaped embossing folder though and glad I did because I liked how it turned out. :) 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
