I must admit, I had a hard time with this sketch. It just didn't speak to me. Last night, I sat at my desk and picked out some papers-none of which appear on this card. Hubby said to turn out the light and sleep on it. This morning with fresh eyes, I jumped in and he was right. It just came together. I used the "candy cane" stripe background which I think gives a tailored look to the card. I found the saying in my box. I cut out the sun from the to the moon and back set. I think it would make a wonderful get well card for a man, don't you?

I stamped the sunflower on watercolor paper with Versa Mark and embossed with SNS gold tinsel embossing powder. I colored the image with Tombow markers and a watercolor brush. The image was fussy cut and then divided into fourths. I mounted them on Hot Fudge squares. The sentiment was stamped on vellum and embossed with gold detail embossing powder.  I love the sparkle that the embossing powder gives this card.

I love the simplicity of this sketch. I was able to show the beautiful Holly embossing folder. I had the frame sitting on my desk, as I hadn't used it in a long time. The stamp is an older one with lots of beautiful sentiments for the season.

I chose more traditional colors for this card. Cranberry cordial and gold paper on a smooth white cardstock. The Tree and packages are from Birdie Brown's "Santa's Elves" stamp set and cut with coordinating dies. The top design comes from Blueprints 18 (love my blueprints). The images were colored with copics.

What a fun sketch. This one could be vertical as well as horizontal. I love the layers. I chose to add a cute elf bearing a package. Doesn't he just say Christmas?

I love this sketch. I found a fall leaves embossing folder among my many. I have finally gathered them all together in one place and was surprised to see how many I actually own! The photo reminded me of changing leaves in fall and so I went with shades of orange for my layers. My stamps are from a previous set called "falling for you". I stamped them and then covered them with "Perfect Pearls" in a gold color to add to the fall theme.

I loved seeing the designers take on this sketch. Even though I have the stars die-namics, I needed a birthday card. I stamped the balloon strings background in gold and cut out the balloons with the stax. I ran them all through an embossing folder and added some shimmer with my Stella. Happy Birthday from PI and a Washi die-namics finished the card.
