     This sweet card features a cute little pup from All Dressed up that is rockin’ a bit of bling! (She is one of three pups on the digi. I added a pic of the WM digi so you can see how cute the trio is!) I wanted the bling to stand out, so opted for a B&W card with pops of bright pink. I haven’t used the book binding fold for a while, but like the simple yet elegant look of it on this card.

    I made this card for a favorite Christmas themed Sketch Challenge. It features a gorgeous (and FREE) Christmas digi from Beccy’s Place. I printed it on vellum, added color on the underside, then used my white gel pen to add details and highlights on the top side of the vellum. I used an oval template to cut three ovals from vellum (a large and small oval from white vellum, and a medium oval from yellow vellum.) I adhered them with minimal adhesive to the underside of the vellum to highlight candlelight (see my card for proper placement.)  After creating the background with two triangles of patterned paper, I adhered the finished lantern in place with adhesive beneath the oval layers, plus silver photo corners. Add sentiments and TaDa!

Supplies: 

·   Digi is a freebie from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Lantern)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Front Sentiment “Merry Christmas” trimmed from patterned paper- Hobby Lobby

·   Inside sentiment “May the Light of Christ…” is from Jan’s Digi Stamps (Sadly company is closed)

·   Pioneer Silver Photo corners- available from several sources

·   Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·   Patterned papers, vellum, other misc. items and tools from my stash.

    I created this card for several current challenges that have ocean/beach or circle themes. This card features a digi from Sweet November Stamps named “Song of the Sea.” The pensive mermaid quietly holding a large shell close to her heart touches my heart! The background scene is a freebie from one of my favorite sites for free digis, sentiments, and more!

    When I opened the card to attach the inside sentiment, I discovered that I had somehow smudged the top half of the card center. Ack! I checked in my "Beach" box of goodies and found this beautiful sunset upcycled from an old calendar. It covered the problem beautifully!
