I
had fun in my stamping studio this past week and created a few cards- this Clean and Layered (CAL) Mixed Media card was designed using the FreshlyMade Sketches FMS240 Sketch Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers’ CC582 "A Real Picnic in the Sand with Cucumbers" Color Challenge (dessert option was picnic- obviously I skipped dessert :-)).
I
pulled out a few of my retired stamp sets to create a Christmas card for this year- I am so behind on my Christmas card stamping (I had hoped to start in January) and will have to start soon to get all of my Christmas cards created on time to mail ( I know I have several months but I do have a large Christmas card list :-)).
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet, I
encourage you to do so- it always amazes me how many different cards can be
designed with one color, sketch or theme challenge!
Ink the Ageless Adornment image with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.
Color the image with
an AquaPainter™ and ink from Stampin’ Write Markers- Real Red, Cucumber Crush
and Sahara Sand.
Add Clear Wink of
Stella® to the background area.
Color the frame around
the image with the retired Stampin’ Dazzle Gold Marker, fussy-cut the image,
mount onto Basic Black cardstock and fussy-cut around the edge.
Use the Big Shot™
with Sizzix® Textured Impressions™ Folders (Holly
and Poinsettia- I do not know the actual names) to emboss a piece of Real Red,
Cucumber Crush and Sahara Sand cardstock, trim and mount each onto Basic Black
cardstock (per the FMS240 Sketch).
Ink the sentiment
from the retired set, Short & Sweet with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto
Whisper White cardstock, create the banner with the Hexagon Punch, mount onto
Basic Black cardstock and use the Hexagon Punch to create the banner.
Trim a piece of
Whisper White cardstock, mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock, trim and
mount onto a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock, trim and mount onto the Extra
Thick Whisper White card base.
Add the embossed
layers per the sketch, add the Gold Cord Trim and mount the sentiment along with
the stamped holly focal image to finish off the card.

Very pretty card! Love the embossed panels! Such pretty Christmas colours! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Truly lovely! The textured panels lead up perfectly to the great stamp! Love the bit of gold on the edges and in the cord as an accent. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
