Today I am taking part in my first challenge of 2014 with 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown. It's a cool sketch and I not only made a Christmas card but a Valentine card using the sketch.
All images are by Red Rubber Designs.... Christmas Fun and Trendy Greetings.
I also used Copic markers and old Sizzix snowflake dies. Can you see I added some Stardust Clear Gel pen to the snowflakes along with the rhinestones? I hope by taking part in the challenges that I'll have enough Christmas cards this year.
And here's my Valentine card.
Stamped images are by Red Rubber Designs. I used Label Lingo Frames and Label Lingo Occasions but I stamped off my ink once to get the color to match my base card stock.
I added the 3 little pink heart gems from a Pearl & Gem Collection similar to THIS but mine has purple embellies in it, too. I think this card came out real cool! What do you think?
