Stencil background......

 

Hello!  I have this cute nontraditional valentine up over on the Avery Elle blog today using the new mini set called Viking and coordinating Elle-ments.  Links to products at the bottom of my post!

This stamp set is just adorable and I just love the punny sentiment in his beard!  I've colored my Viking in with Copics and added shading.  To create a fun and QUICK background, I used a brick stencil from my stash and sponged Fired Brick Distress Ink over my top folding notecard.  Easy Peasy!  After adding in some diecut hearts from a piece of scratch paper also sponged with Fired Brick to match, I added my Viking with foam adhesive!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

SFYTT with Reverse Confetti!

Hello!  I am here sharing a card using the current SFYTT (Sketch For You to Try) over at the Reverse Confetti blog.  Check out the SFYTT post......HERE for all the details!

For this months sketch, I decided to make a festive card for the winter months and link it up to the 2015 Winter/Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

I used Caffeinated Cups and coordinating Confetti Cuts and did a bit of inlaid diecutting with a snowflake die from Let it Snow Confetti Cuts.  I love how it turned out!  My sentiment is from the Winter Word Coordinates and Confetti Cuts done in glitter cardstock and silver heat embossing.  I added a snowflake diecut in silver glitter paper and some silver sequins (from Pretty Pink Posh) to my card as an embellishments.

 Now the best part is.......there is always a winner every month!  Here are the details:

The winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of each month.

December Verve Diva Inspiration Hop!

 

It's time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop! There are two ways to win Verve prizes: comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) to see their take on the inspiration, then go get inky and link up your take on the challenge to be eligible in our prize drawings! You have until January 5 to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.

Our December challenge is Cup of Kindness

Everywhere you look this time of year there's a flurry of color. Shiny ornaments, twinkling Christmas lights, window displays decked out in the merriest of brights. And not to mention all the sweet little wassail, hot cocoa, tea and coffee cups all around. So this month we're challenging you to share a cup of kindness with us. Get inspired by the graphic or blaze your own color trail, just show us some colorful creations!

I've used a combination of several Verve sets to create my card.  I started with this bold black tag from Holiday Treats and stamped a sentiment from Coffee.  My little stack of cups (from One Cup) were stamped, diecut, and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  Everything was adhered to a watercolored background of Distress Inks.....Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, and Salty Ocean.  And finally, I added a black glittered "Coffee" diecut sentiment!  (Iridescent sequins from Pretty Pink Posh)
