Freshly Makes Sketches #11

It is a blustery wet evening out my window, it makes me happy that I am snuggled in my craft space with a tea contently making a mess as I card.

I managed two separate cards this evening, the first is for the new Freshly Made Sketches challenge.



I think this stamp is so cute, I cut the birdie out a second time and popped it up with foam tape and added the smallest of color to the branch. I used this wonderful twine that has sparkle to add a little something extra.

I tried to make my little flower punch look like a pointsettia but I am not sure I managed it. I finished with a crystal. Those little white flowers I added here and there are for nails, they are so delicate I thought they would work great on cards.

Supplies: Cream and red cardstock, Designer Paper-Recollections, Stampendous-Peace Birdie, misc punch and twine, crystal.

The next challenge is for Card Patterns.




This card was three days in the making, I had a it all lined up in my mind but it just did not translate to card form. I am still not loving it. I used my Cricut to make cut most of the elements, I added crystals to the snowflakes to give them added sparkle.

Supplies: Cream and blue cardstock, Designer Paper-My Minds Eye, Close to my Heart-Christmas scripts. gems, misc twine.

Cheers,
Nina
