Happy Mail (From the Heart Stamps image)

Hello, everyone!  A very warm welcome to my newest follower - Annelies - thank you for joining me!  I'm back today with a card I created for a sketch challenge, and I'm cutting it close - the link expires in just a few hours!  I used the adorable Winter Post from From the Heart Stamps, and I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils and added Icicle Stickles to the snowflakes and along the snow.



Yesterday I received a goody package in the mail from a challenge I won last month over at Cosmic Colours (thank you, Colette!), and I was soooo excited to get all the Christmas goodies that I decided to make a Christmas card!  I used just the papers on my card today, but you will be seeing more of my goodies on future cards!  I made the sentiment with my Dymo label maker and added ribbon, charm, and gems from my stash.  I die cut the image with my new Lawn Fawn Stitched Journal Card that I bought with some birthday money I received.  I will be 50 next week - eeek! 

Here's the sketch I followed from From the Heart Stamps I {heart} sketches.

What I like about your card is how you made sure that all of your colors goes so well together....your paper and the coloring of your image perfectly done...
Great idea using your Dymo for the sentiment.
Well done Kitty and good luck in the challenges

very_inky_fingers said...

I love your color choices... everything goes so well together. I know what it means to CASE a card but what is it called when you try to CASE a bit of everything a person does. LOL! I feel as though I am learning so much from your style and use of patterned paper and sketches. Thanks again for more inspiration!
