AHSC658 Brightly Shining

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  The Atlantic Hearts Sketch this week is a lovely one, as usual:


I had some pretty papers from Thoughtful Journey sitting on my desk, and I thought they would make a pretty Christmas card, so here we go:


I wanted to use this sentiment from Night Divine, so I stamped it in some Pretty Peacock ink on a diecut panel and added some crinkly seam binding in a shabby-chic bow that just happened to match perfectly.  I embossed another panel with a star embossing folder and assembled it all together, along with some star sequins:


A sentiment from Peaceful Season went on the inside:


I just realized I didn't put any little doodads in the four corners, so I hope they'll not kick me out, LOL!  And I hope you'll play along with our sketch challenge this year at Atlantic Hearts! Can't wait to see your creations!

Big Bold Thanks for FMS714

Happy Monday, peeps! Hope everyone had a good weekend!  Trying to get back into a routine again!  I am playing with the current FMS sketch today, and although I so wanted to put a Christmas ornament on this card, I needed a thank you card, so I went in a different direction!  Here's the sketch:

I pulled out some neglected DSP, did a bit of stamping and fussy-cutting and here we are:


Embossing folder is Eyelet; sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements, and Basic Black and Melon Mambo are my colors....easy peasy! I did add a bit of retired Gingham Ribbon for fun!


Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
