I was able to carve out some stamping time just for me, just for fun, today. I really wanted to try some challenges from other blogs.....I "collect" all these blogs that post challenges in my favorites bookmark, but never do any of them. So I treated myself today.
The first one is from Poetic Artistry, a sketch; but I also used a technique from Our Creative Corner called Vintage Verve. It uses neglected stamps from Papertrey called Believe, as well as some hoarded Cosmo Cricket Be Good paper:
The images are heat embossed with Gold Glory EP, then sponged with More Mustard & Creamy Caramel for the Vintage Verve "glow". I wish I was a better photographer so I could capture the true warmth of this card....it really looks much better IRL!
The next one is also a sketch from Technostamper.
This uses the Faux Diamond dust technique on the circle embellishment:
Now I am off to make cupcakes for my girls tonight! Thanks for visiting and remember to stop back tomorrow for the Color Throwdown Challenge!

Love the Winter Post card! gorgeous! You got Mr. Twigster and I may have to break down and get this one that you used:)
Beautiful Cards! I love the one with the reindeer.
Oh my I love the sketch this way, never occurred to me?! I always turn sketches but for some reason I didn't do it with this one and GEEZZ, that was silly. I love it this way, I think I will make one with it this way tomorrow. You rock. Thanks for playing.
Beautiful cards LeAnne! I would say you made great use of your stamping time today. WoW!
I love both of these cards!! You did a great job with "the glow".
I love the antique/vintage feel of the first one, and love the colors on the second! Beautiful work!
