Hello friends, hope you are all doing well. I'm excited today because I managed to make two cards for a couple different challenges that I haven't been able to participate in for a while. The first challenge is
Freshly Made Sketches #61 (see sketch below). I just couldn't resist this sketch. The second challenge is
Dynamic Duos #29 - which has one of my favorite color combos of Marina Mist and Black with the dessert option of a snowman (my card has two snow people on it). I wanted to us a snowflake charm but didn't have one so I thought the heart worked well with the saying of kind words warming the winter months. I am not typically a winter person (too cold for me) - but making snowmen with my kids is one activity I enjoy :o)
I had fun making this card. I used my blender pen and some Marina Mist ink to color in parts of the image. Pretty pleased with how it turned. Usually CAS is hard for me - but this sketch really helped me. Oh and I also did something fun on the inside where I used a couple different snowflake punches...
Hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit. Til next time... Hugs and Happy Crafting!

Hi Danielle! Sweet card! I love the little heart charm - perfect little touch! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteI really love the old fashtion look of your snowman and kids stamp. Your use of it for this challenge is wonderful. Really nice job.
ReplyDeleteI like images like this where you can get away with coloring just a few parts, leave the rest black and white and it looks that good. I love your other "specials" like the heart trinket, ribbon, and punched snowflakes. Thanks for playing along at DD this week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card, love how you finished out the inside as well. Thanks for playing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love your choices of papers and embellishments to coordinate with the image. Thanks for sharing with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteStunning!, I love the partially colored image...must remember!! The scallop, ribbon, trinket and snowflakes are the perfect additions. Thanks for joining the Dynamic Duos this week.
ReplyDeleteLook at you decorating the inside of your card! Ruth is a bad influence on us! ;D LOVE the fun scene and the gorgeous use of colors!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card! Great idea to colour in parts of the image with blue and leave the rest black and white - looks really effective! Thanks for playing along with Dynamic Duos this week!
