For this week's Freshly Made Sketch. I had to laugh when I saw the blog - under the title, it asks "Will you be the Queen of Clean". Let me tell you, my cards are the only area where it's even a possibility! lol!
Also for this week's Casual Friday challenge to use acetate or vellum.
I seem to be focused on Christmas lately. I wanted the strip down the side to be one word and the "sentiment" element to be another, so I guess now that I think about it, it could have been Happy on the strip and Birthday on the bottom, or Thank on the strip and You on the bottom. Actually, the possibilities now appear to be endless, but it didn't occur to me at that point, so Merry Christmas it is!
The snowflake is an old Cuttlebug die cut from vellum, edged in Stardust Stickles. Christmas is a masked part of a big DeNami stamp and the Merry is unknown. Raspberry Ripple and Gumball green ink.
What a stunning card Ardyth! I love the embossed "Christmas" and the snowflake! So classy! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

ReplyDeleteArdyth - I love the way you stamped all the way down the side, and that glittered vellum snowflake?!? AWESOME! Thank you so much for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteSi on réfléchit bien, Noël n'est plus si loin et bientôt il va falloir s'y employer. Tu as bien raison de commencer tôt, en plus elle est magnifique!

ReplyDeleteI love all the elements and the texture of this card! You should also enter it in the LIM "metal" challenge with your silvery Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOops, it's "something shiny" at LIM, not necessarily metal ...

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Ardyth .... love that sparkly snowflake and merry panel ... stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!!!
The snowflake looks awesome diecut from vellum! Great job on the stamped "Merries"! Do you sweat/panic when you get down to the last one or two images to stamp, hoping and praying that you don't drop your stamp, or smudge or wiggle ?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic design, Ardyth! I love the repeated sentiment stamped as a border in alternating colors--so clever. The silver embossing looks amazing, too! Thanks for joining us again at CAS-ual Fridays!
