Thanks a Bushel!

  Used a set I've had but never used from Jillibean Soup and Hampton Arts called Vegetable Soup.  Added copic markers and a little natural twine bow, then cut a little of the front side of the card so you could see the stripe Washi tape on the insides.  Here's the link for the MFT Sketch challenge:

Also entering this in the Less is More Challenge. They asked that you use fruit, but I don't have fruit stamps, so it's veggies for me and they come in a bushel just like fruit does.  Hope carrots qualify, I think they're sweet as fruit, does that count????

Joyful Snowflake

Welcome and hope you are keeping warm!  I had lots of fun making this card!  I've gotten stuck on maroon and white for my color palette lately!  I just really like tge way the two colors look together!  Too many Aggies in the family I guess!

Used white and maroon cardstock to cut 6 separate snowflakes plus one in the card base to nestle the others into with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch.  Greeting from Jillybean Soup, sequins are clear from Pretty Pink Posh, patterned paper and washi tape from my stash, finished off with a few score lines under the greeting. Continuing in my Aggie (Texas A&M) color theme this week!  Whoop!!!!

Prayers Sketch

I made two cards in Aggie colors-Whoop!

This was my second card, using patterned paper in just the right Aggie colors, and stitched circle dies from Memory Box.  The word die from Hero Arts/Simon Says is cut from both maroon, white cardstock and mounted on another cut out of fun foam for more dimension.

Hello Sketch

I made two cards in Aggie colors-Whoop!

This was my first card, using patterned paper in just the right Aggie colors, and stitched circle dies from Memory Box.  The word die from Hero Arts is cut from maroon cardstock.  Base of card is A2 size but the top panel is not as wide so you can see strips of pp down the sides.  I added some gingham on inside of card too!

You Are Beautiful Shaker

Fun shaker card made for the Come and Get It Anything Goes with a Sentiment Challenge. I used a Next Generation embossing folder for the hearts, then a distress ink tool to add distress in cracked pistachio to tge bacground and a piece of white cardstock around the edges for a matching layer.  Dark green cardstock is GKD and so is the fine detail white embossing powder.  Sentiment is so sweet and from Hero Arts.  Used fuse tool to make shaker filled with Martha Stewart tiny heats glitter.  Behind the heart is a small white panel that I stamped little starbursts in the same color ink.  Used dark green fun foam to pop up the shaker layer. I really like the way this turned out!  I will send it to a special person!
