Feeling Sketchy Challenge # 75

It's time for another challenge at Feeling Sketchy :-)

Here it the sketch for this challenge:

Here is the card that I made:

I used various papers from Close To My Heart...the Sparkle & Shine paper pack.

I used bakers twine for the tops of the ornaments...stamped on Merry Christmas and attached it with a 3D foam dot.

There will not be a sponsor or a major prize give away this month, instead the winner (chosen at random) will be offered a guest designer spot with our Design Team girls for February next year.
The winner will be announced early January and you will be advised of the sketch's for February then also, so you will have plenty of time to prepare you project's.

Come on over and play along with us at Feeling Sketchy

Thank You card using Vellum

Made this thank you card by embossing this "Thank You" on to Vellum...and then coloring it in with a green watercolor pencil.  I then added stick on butterflies around all the edges.

This is the first time I have ever embossed on vellum.

I need a lot of practice :(   But it was a fun challenge for me.

Merry Christmas

Made this Merry Christmas card using this adorable image from Lacy Sunshine Stamps called Emily Winter Wonderland.    I really wanted to use the super cute Eleanor Holiday Shopping which is the current "Challenge Digi" - but, when I went to print it out my printer had other plans :(   It made a really strange noise and that was it....printer was no longer working.

So - until we get a new printer (we are in the process of comparing printers, prices and what the cost of refill inks will be) I am without a printer.

I had printed this Emily Winter Wonderland out quite a long time ago and had colored her in with Promarkers.   But I had never put it to use on a card.   Until now........

I used a 5x7 white card and embossed it with a snowflake pattern.  I attached my image with 3D foam dots to add a little pop to her.   I stamped on Merry Christmas in red ink onto a white cardstock and then sponged red ink around the edges, also attaching this with 3D foam dots.

I added a couple of small stick on felted Holly Flowers, a couple of little heart hearts along with a white ribbon with a red heart on it.   I also added a little red heart to her hand mitt.

Every good and perfect gift

I found this beautiful, peaceful scenery stamp at Goodwill.  

It is a Stampendous stamp.

I sponged on a blue background...and colored it all in with Promarkers, using colors blue, green & brown.

I stamped on the Scripture, which is a SU stamp...in brown.

The Lord Blesses

Made this card using Our Daily Bread Designs stamp Rocking Chair, & the Scripture stamp is also a Our Daily Bread stamp from Bless This Home stamp set

I colored in the rocking chair image with watercolor pencils.

I made the background to hopefully resemble a quilt :-)   I distressed all the edges of the four squares...then added a sheer pink ribbon/bow.
