Merry Christmas, everyone! Hopefully you all had a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends, food, and treats galore. We certainly did! I think I have a sugar coma from the multitude of cookies...yeesh!
I've been slow on the uptake today {again...due to the food coma!} and I'm just getting my SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY card posted this evening. This is a special week and you'll definitely want to play along. JEN'S got a really great giveaway for the challenge participants...a chance to win a ONE YEAR MEMBERSHIP TO THE SCS FAN CLUB!! All you have to do is participate in this week’s sketch and post your creation to the Mr. Linky on JEN'S BLOG.
My card this time has only a touch of stamping. The large cursive "merci" is from Paper Source. Isn't that a great font?! I love it. The small cursive stamp is from Papertrey. I'm still working on trying to incorporate them into my routine. {I keep buying those sets but not using them and that's NOT good!} I flipped the sketch so that the embellishments would be on the left of the card too. The patterned papers are from Making Memories. Hey, did you know that the Spellbinder's Nestabilities dies can cut felt? Again...slow on the uptake here! I'm sure I'm the last to figure it out but it's really cool. I created another of those layered paper flowers that I was making a few weeks ago. This time I "roughed up" and split a piece of SU! carstock. Then I used that same PTI stamp with their cream ink to stamp on the "felted" side of the paper. A few PTI buttons, embroidery floss and some tiny Kaiser Craft pearls finish it off.
Don't forget to check in with the other SFYTT girls...the links are below:
and Jen del Muro with this month's special guest. {Susan is skipping this week - she's off playing in Disney...lucky duck!}
Also, the SFYTT gang will be taking the month of January off. Both Jen and Kelly will be welcoming brand new baby boys. How exciting, right! Best of wishes to them both and to YOU for a Happy New Year!
WOWEEEE, girl, this is STUNNING! I love your flower cluster, the awesome color combo, and the elegance of the script stamps!
