#8 Blue Christmas

Today's sketch comes from May 2017:

I saw a card on Pinterest that featured a simple triangular Christmas tree with foil paper. I loved the idea so much that I pulled out all the foil paper I had to sort through. This piece of Soft Sky Foil Frenzy DSP caught my eye. After cutting my tree, I added a trunk using kraft paper and then started pulling colors and papers to coordinate. I ended up only using a bit of dapper denim DSP from the Eastern Palace pack and switching out the rest in favor of an embossed piece of soft sky. I love the subtle shine of this card.

TGIFC119: Riding My Bike

Today's card is playing along with TGIF's Color Challenge. These three colors together just scream summer! I love the combo.

I had so much fun making this simple little card that it's going to be one of the featured cards for August's stamp club meeting. I started with stamping this cute little green and blue bike. I love how the stamp set is designed to be able to layer on different colors. And it comes with a ton of different items to put onto the back of the bike. So versatile! I filled a little basket with a dog and some pretty sunflowers. As a last touch, I added some glitter enamel dots to the centers of the wheels.
