OK honestly the sketch for today is super simple - I've been running around like a crazy person trying to get things done (and finishing up images for new stamp sets to be released in the near future!) and barely stamped at all this week. When I finally did sit down to stamp I started messing around and fiddling and cluttered up my desk (it looks like a tornado ripped through my stamp room!) and came out with 4 cards - 2 of them are almost the same and I'm sharing them here today and the other 2 I'll post later.
Here's the cards:
I pulled out my old Stampin' Up! Snowflakes set that retired however long ago (and refuse to get rid of b/c I LOVE it), and my Christmas Sentiments and Christmas Card Verses sets and made these 2 super simple cards!
I used SU shimmery white cardstock for both - in real life it is the most fabulous cardstock - SUPER heavy weight and the prettiest shimmer to it. I have I don't know how many packs of it and always forget to pull it out and USE it!
I stamped the snowflakes in various blue inks, let them sit for a bit then stamped the word "Peace" from my Christmas Sentiments set in versamark and embossed it with silver embossing powder.
That's it - for the outside.
On the inside of the card I stamped the snowflake in blue, then stamped this sentiment from my Christmas Card Verses set again in versamark and embossed that as well with Silver EP.
THEN I did it all again - but this time using pinky, reddy, burgandy inks and stamping the word "Joy" from Christmas Sentiments and embossing it with Copper EP.
Yeah I'm definitely loving the pink.....
Same thing - stamped the snowflake in pink on the inside then the verse from Christmas Card Verses in Versamark and embossed it with Copper EP.

Now onto the sketch:
Basically for this sketch the challenge is to just create a single layer card with the main image on the lower right and sentiment on the bottom right. Have fun with it!!
And as always:
- keyword to use when uploading to public galleries is AMYRS46
- link directly to your creation when posting a link to your card - why you ask? Check out this link for more info.
- have your card done and linked before next Thursday at 11pm EST in order to have it included with the participants links - other than that there is no time limits - this is all for fun!
- ANYONE can participate - you can use whatever products/stamps/embellies you want - sky's the limit :)
- I WILL remove any links I deem inappropriate and/or not post them with next Friday's sketch (self-promotional, spam, card not following sketch in any way etc etc etc) - so far I've been lucky and all those that have played along have been fabulous - but I'd rather say it now and just have that out there.
