I did this card for the following challenges,

1) Get Sketchy Sketch #50 - This is perfect for lot of the Vertical sentiment stamps that I have :)
2) ResQ challenge #57 - Tape it Up. To use some tape in your project.
I used tome Tim Holtz Tissue Tape.
3) StampTV - Blast from the Past Inspiration Challenge. I loved all the hues of purple and blue in this inspiration photo and that is what made me go with this Kioshi Patterned Paper from Basic Grey.

Here is the sketch,

Black and White Christmas Cards

I wanted to share the two Black and White Christmas cards that I did for the Kelli Jo's Swap on SCS.

My first card uses the single stamp from Stampin Up - Dasher. I loved this stamp set. I have used some black gingham patterned paper from Making Memories. I used the new Snow dots Embossing folder with some Gina K designs Mother of Pearl Metallic CS. This paper is just gorgeous and has an awesome sheen to it. I tried to get a close up picture.



here is the close up picture,



For my 2nd card, I used Gina K Designs Christmas in July set- Blessed is the Season. This set is just so pretty. I kept the design simple again. I used the script image from this set and created the background using Memento London Fog Ink. I felt that black might be too overwhelming. Then the tree image formed the focal image. I wanted to put some liquid applique or Stickles on the tree branches, but forgot to do that :(

Mojo Monday on a Tuesday

I loved the latest Mojo Monday Sketch #150. I created this card also for PPA53 - Pals Paper Arts - Monochromatic Challenge - Purple.

I used PTI Guidelines Patterned Paper in Plum Pudding. Card stock is PTI Lavender Moon and PTI Plum Pudding. Vintage Labels from SU was the perfect stamp set for this Sketch and it matches so well with the SU Scalloped Circle Punch. I am in love with Ranger DI - Dusty Concord, it is a great purple color.

Anni-VERVE-sary blog hop

Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop! Verve turns three today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! If you've already been hopping along, you arrived here from Jess' blog. If not, head on over to Julee's Blog (owner of Verve), for all the info on how to win prizes (after all, what's a party without presents?), and to start hopping from the beginning. If there's a hiccup along the hop, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.

I created a very simple card for my blog using the VERVE Petals and Stems set. I also did this for the VERVE Ready Set stamp challenge - Petals and Stems.



I loved these flowers so much, that I just kept the focus on them. I stamped the butterfly on the main panel, then twice again in black and pink, cut it out and popped it up with glue dots to give it a 3D feeling. I loved this particular stamp set from VERVE and I think it offers a lot of possibilities.

Here is a close up of the butterfly and inside view of the card,
