Sketch Saturday Week 438 with Simon Says Stamp

Greetings crafty friends, today is my first post with Sketch Saturday Challenge Team. I am so excited about this, and hope to see you get involved with these fun challenges.

Today is the beginning of challenge #438, Our wonderful sponsor is Simon Says Stamp, and the prize will be a $25 gift Certificate.

So without further delay, this is the challenge sketch that we are working with this week.

And this is my project. 

Using Recollections pattern paper for the background, and Rope Stitched Rectangle and Square Dies form my friend Kat's store, I was able to put this card together. The cute little Raccoon is from Lawn Fawn which I stamped and used my Scan N Cut to cut him out. Using Spectrum Noir Markers I was able to color him the way I liked, and added the wishbone to finish him off. 

I hope you have enjoyed my card, and look forward to seeing your entries.

Joy Clair November With The THREE WISE MEN

Greetings Crafty Friends. Time for another great installment of the Joy Clair Monthly Blog Hop. 

We have some great new stamp sets this month. I have to say I love them all.

Today I am going to highlight one set from this months release.

Three Wise Men is a great 4x6 set. With 3 sentiments and 6 images, two of which can be colored, this is going to make some great Christmas cards.  This set works great for Bible Journaling pages as you can see from my two projects.

 With this card, the background paper is from a Momenta 6x6 card stack. I thought it would make the perfect night background. The city scape I stamped 3 times as well as the camels, I then stamped the wise men once. I used my scan n cut to then cut them out and color. using dimensional adhesive for the 2nd and last layers I put the card together. The Wise Men are on the way to Bethlehem seeking the baby in the manger.

With this journal page, I used distress inks to color the night sky and the desert land. Stamped the city with versafine, and the stamped the sentiment up top. Finished the scene off with the star brad and my page was complete.

RETARTE- CHALLENGE YOURSELF #89 WITH A DAY FOR DAISIES

Greetings Crafty Friends, today I would like to share with you a project I did using a digital image from a day for daisies...This is for the great challenge going on over at Retarte

This is the image, titled Three Nice Gifts:

As soon as I saw this design, my card started coming together in my mind. I made 3 prints of it, and cut with my scan n cut. After finding the background paper I wanted to use I went to work. Used a wonderful Christmas tree die my friend Kat designed, I cut out the tree from two different pattern papers and layered alternating with dimensional tape the tree was set, I then went to work with my digital images and various markers to color them brightly. Using dimensional tape I attached the gifts under the tree, and the sentiment above.

I hope you enjoyed this project. I will be back in two weeks with another project I hope you like.
