"E" is for Elf is the fun challenge at Sisterhood for Snarky Stampers #174. I used last week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for the design but missed their deadline. The patterned paper is from Kringle & Co. and images and sentiment from a fun Memory Box set and coordinating dies. Colored with Copics.
The challenge runs Nov. 30-Dec. 6th My design team card will be posted at their site Wednesday. Lots of inspiration for you to try this sketch.
There are often deer and fawn walking around my neighborhood. We live near several gulches and a large wooded park. They show little fear of humans and wander from yard to yard snacking on their favorite plants. Those on my card come from My Favorite Things set, So Very Fawned of You. I've colored them with Copics, cut with coordinating dies. The sentiment is from CZ Design, Clean Line Christmas (SSS). The hexagons were cut with stitched dies from Pretty Pink Posh. The background panels are from a long retired and hoarded CTMH set of papers.
This sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches has been in my head. With Christmas stamps all over my table...I had just used this CZ Design Clean Line Christmas set for a sentiment, and as I put it away an idea struck to use the trees. So here they are, colored with Altenew artist markers, and a sentiment from Simon Says reverse sentiment strips.
Time to craft those Christmas cards! I decided to dress up my new Riley characters and get them in the spirit. Riley's shirt was cut from Kringle & Co. paper, packages stamped from last year's Simon Says December card kit stamp set, and computer generated sentiment.

I love Riley & Co. sentiments! And Riley the Moose is pretty cute, too. This card uses Sketch Saturday #637 design. The challenge runs Saturday November 21-27, and because Sketch Saturday's sponsor is Riley & Co. you could win a prize of credit in their store! Check it out and craft along with us this week.
My card was inspired by Kristina Werner's block stamping with Concord & 9th Painted Shapes set. I used Platinum Planet Brilliance pigment, CTMH Peacock, Twilight and Glacier inks. The sentiment is from Gina K Smile die and stamp set - cut from silver vellum and stamped with Peacock. There is quite a bit of shimmer from the Brilliance pad hard to see on the photograph. This feels like a great masculine birthday card to me, and I have several on my list for January.
The circle was cut with a Lawn Fawn Stittched Scalloped Circle die. I stamped several trees and stars with Flora & Fauna images (Cozy Cuddles Penguin Set) with Silver Brilliance pigment ink. The aqua shimmer card stock is from Simon Says Stamp. The silver glitter card stock from my stash, The polar bear image is from an old favorite Close To My Heart set, colored with Altenew artist markers and fussy cut. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. It came out sparkly and fun. What a delightful color palette!
