Cookie Challenge #59

 

It's time for another challenge at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie. Just  be inspired by this amazing cookie creation.  The prize this time is sponsored by Sherry Baldy digi stamps.

I love cardinals, so this was a fun challenge for me. (Despite that, I don't really own a lot of cardinal images, but luckily I had this perfect image someone sent me.)  The bird is colored in pencils and matted on metallic gold paper, with a tartan printed paper and gold ribbon for accents.

My card is for these challenges:
Holly Jolly Christmas #86 -- anything goes Christmas
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra  -- anything goes Christmas
CRAFT #394 -- Christmas
Word Art Wednesday #260 -- anything goes
Kraftin Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday -- anything goes
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge -- use patterned paper

Fairy overload

I haven't pulled out my fairy stamps for a while, so I used a bunch with this card. The images are all by Fairie Song Art Stamps.
The front features a fairy stamped on a white snippet, colored with pencils, with Wink of Stella on her wings. The pink mat and printed dp are also snippets. The ombre ribbon perfectly matches the mat.
The inside is a fold I found on SCS called twist and pop.When you close the card, the insert neatly folds and turns itself 90 degrees to fit in a flat card.


I'm entering these challenges:
The Butterfly Challenge #68 -- fairies, gnomes and pixies
The Ribbon Girl -- December Card challenge
Pixie's Snippet Playground #259 -- use snippets
Sugar Pea Mix it Up #26-- anything goes
Word Art Wednesday #260 -- anything goes
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge -- use patterned paper
Crafty Sentiments -- anything goes

Candy Canes

I'm not a big fan of eating candy canes, but I do think they make a wonderful graphic element. Today, in my second-to-last guest designer post for Scribbles Designs, I'm showcasing the Candy Cane Mason Jar image from Scribbles Designs.

I colored the jar with pencils, then fussy cut it. I added a thick layer of Glossy Accents on top and it does look like glass in person. The sketch for this card is the current Mojo Monday sketch, and I used  some seasonal paper, including one print that has candy canes, to strengthen the theme.  I embellished with piercing and a silk poinsettia.

I'm running out of time to make cards, and I need to start addressing them and sending them out. How are you doing with your card-sending?

My card is for these challenges:
