A Few Cards

Happy Monday!!! 

This is my second post today. I actually was able to make some cards this weekend for some challenges. I have not had my mojo as of late and so it was fun to just sit down and have some ideas. 

For my first card, I used a combination of a few challenges. 

I created this card using Pinkfresh Studio Festive Tickets Stamps, Stencils and Dies.

I used the Pinkfresh Studios Snowflake Studio Coverplate die for my die cut background.


I am entering this into the October Pinkfresh Studio Monthly Challenge. It is to use the color choices on the badge below or ombre. I chose to highlight the greens and pinks. I am also entering this into the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge-Anything Goes. I used the Freshly Made Sketches #608 as my inspiration of the layout BUT I was too late to enter it. The last challenge I am entering this in is the Inspirational Challenge #301-Word Prompt-COLD.

My next card I created I used the Try Stamping on Tuesday Sketch #629 as my inspiration.


Again, I used the Pinkfresh Studio Festive Tickets Stamps, Stencils and Dies.


I did Copic Coloring on the stamps in addition to the stencils. I also used some Pinkfresh Studio Ink to ink blend the die cut ticket. 


I paired these stamps with a piece of pattern paper from the Craft Consortium "Ocean" 8"by 8" paper pad. This paper is GORGEOUS and I am so glad that I was able to dig it out for these cards.

For my third card, I used another piece of the Craft Consortium Ocean paper, the ticket from Pinkfresh Festive Ticket and Spellbinders Christmas Bloom Dies. (these are on sale RIGHT NOW over at the Spellbinder's shop!!)


My inspiration for this card was the sketch from Paper Players Sketch Challenge PP663. 


I had so much fun arranging the die cuts on my card, as well as using some fun products like my Gilded Distress Foundry Wax.


I also used the Pinkfresh Studio Radiating Background Die for some texture in the background of this card. I do not believe this die is available anymore but I have had it in my stash and it was perfect for this card. 


Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS night!!

    Nora, I love the texture on each of the layers. The touches of gold add a wonderful highlight and the touch of deep red for the poinsettia pops against the shades of blue/greens. Gorgeous card. Oh... and thanks for enabling... I'd seen the ticket die and though I didn't need it! So glad you shared this beauty with us at the Paper Players this week
