Winter Greetings

This is my 2nd post today because I TOTALLY forgot to post this card and the challenge closes tomorrow!  So I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Tic Tac Toe #260 (I used CAS, ink blending, and die cut)

Papercraft #112 - Monochrome

Everybody Art - Blue

The Folk Snowflake stamp and die cut are from Pink Fresh Studio (Simon Says Stamp). I created the background by using Distress Inks on watercolor paper and then adding some Lindy's Magicals.  I did a big piece of watercolor paper so I could then stamp/die cut the image from the same paper.  The greeting is stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with silver embossing powder. Peace.

So I used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday (#658) but I guess I didn't pay attention to the deadline because I missed it!  AND - I actually made 2 cards for it!  LOL  But that's the sketch I used for inspiration if you want to go check it out!  :)  I created my background by blending Tim Holtz Distress Inks on watercolor paper and then spritzing with water.  Stamps are from Tracey Hey, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder then colored with alcohol markers and little spots of Stickles glitter glue. Peace.

Your Kindness Touched My Heart

Happy Sunday!  I spent the ENTIRE day in my craft room yesterday - I swear I was having withdrawals - and it felt so good.  I got so much done, including several DT projects, challenge projects, and holiday cards for my 4 adorable grandchildren!  For today, I'd like to share the card below for the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Thanks/Thankful

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Thanks/Thankful

I created my background by blending Distress Inks on watercolor paper and then using a baby wipe to swipe over a tie-dye patterned stencil.  My owl stamp is from Dina Wakley and the sentiment is from Mama Elephant, both stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I spot-colored part of the owl for texture.  Peace.

The witch hat & bat are die cuts - stamped sentiment is from My Favorite Things. Peace.

You Are Something Magical

OK so I apologize in advance but you're all gonna have to tolerate Halloween cards randomly thrown in for challenges throughout the year.  LOL  I'm absolutely addicted to making witchy, gnome-inspired, creepy, spooky shit.  So yeah, just deal with it.  ;)  I'd like to enter today's cute lil gnome card into the following challenges:

I created my background paper by blending Distress Inks and then using Lindy's Magicals on watercolor paper, then I spritzed the whole thing with some Tim Holtz Mica Spray Stains.  I used the Halloween Gnomes stamp set from Ink n' Splatter, stamped directly on the background and colored with alcohol markers and Stickles. Added a spider web die cut, stamped a crescent moon with some clear embossing ink and gold embossing powder and then stamped some stars in the top right corner. Peace.
