Snowflake Wreath

This card was made for the challenge on Splitcoaststampers,  CAS299. The challenge was Simply Snowflakes. I do have two snowflakes placed in my arrangement.  

I'm using this wonderful Sarasota Stamps Vine Wreath that was found on Amazon. The company is now out of business. Someone told me they found it online at Wal-Mart, also. 

The berries are painted on with the small end of my round stylus and some Americana acrylic paint...just dabbing it on.

I added the sentiment and all was finished with this one layer card.

I'll probably not be around for a week or so. My son is visiting and his wife and child, along with the other two grandchildren will be here starting this weekend. So, I'll be a busy bee for a while. 

I did put up my two Christmas trees today and I'm so happy that is finished. What a job!!!

Winter Wishes

I changed my blog background. Can you tell I want summer to arrive? I guess I'm thinking I live in Hawaii and it is very warm and beautiful plants are blooming. LOL

 

I've had problems uploading photos on my blog today. It has used up a lot of my day. Hopefully, they will get a fix soon. I saw I was not the only one having a problem. But, the folks at the help section did give me a way around it.

 

My card is for Queen for the Day 146 on Splitcoaststampers and also the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Gallery central theme for December which is Baby, It's Cold Outside. The QFTD challenge was a fun one today. The challenge was to case one of your own cards. I cased this one.

 

My 3 strips of  paper tape is from Martha Stewart Crafts and is probably about the same as Washi tape. I colored my image with Copics. It is an easy, quick CAS card.

I got to play in the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers- FS285- this past Sunday. That is one I almost never get to join.
The FS was SophieLaFontaine and this is the card I chose to case. I love the clean and simple look of her card. It took about 5 minutes to make.

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the balloon and the star punch was from EK Success. It is a border punch called Starry Night. I used the remnants for the stars. The sentiment is Stampin'Up! Well Scripted and I'm using SU paper, Cherry Cobbler. The white base is PTI White cardstock.

I drew the little 'string'  line with a marker to connect with the sentiment. All finished and ready to mail. Oh, I meant to say the card is 3 1/2 x 7.
