Snowflakes in Pink & Gold!

I actually have a card to post!! I wanted to try out this gorgeous dove die that a very sweet friend sent me. And it also gave me a chance to try Kara's (KandRdesigns) two-tone snowflake technique. I used gold embossing powder and pink glitter. Just wish I could get better pictures of the gold. It has so much more sparkle in real life!

The base is WPlus9 Oatmeal cardstock (love the little flecks in the paper) and I also added some clear rhinestones for extra sparkle.

This is being entered in the following 'snow' challenges.

Serendipity Stamps Challenge #3--HAVE A HEART

THEME: HEARTS

There is a fairly new challenge out in blogland! Several of my sweet stamping friends are on the Design Team at Serendipity Stamps so you can always find their gorgeous work at the Challenge Blog. Take a minute to check out the rules. Marybeth (Marybeth's Time For Paper) just send me some of the wonderful images. I've been anxious to try them out and it also meant I could join this week's challenge--yeah!!!

Isn't the heart gorgeous! I wanted to use it with this patterned paper from Bo Bunny so I cut it out and shaded the background using a Copic marker. The only pink felt I had was in bright colors so I used some Vintage Cream and then shaded the roses with the same Copic color. I think I LOVE this card!! And thank you so much, Marybeth! The heart was my inspiration!!

Thanks so much for letting me share,

Sharron

The 12 Kits of Christmas: November

It's so hard to believe it is almost Christmas and I have already received 11 kits from the other members of our wonderful group. And you should see all the leftovers I have still available to play with! There has been so much variety and so many fabulous new products to try out. If you are just visiting for the first time, HERE is a link explaining about how we got started.

This month our hostess is Jeanne Jachna, A Kept Life. Jeanne makes really gorgeous cards, with lots of layers and oodles of awesome die cuts. Oh, and gorgeous bows too! The photo below just shows a hint of all the wonderful things she sent to each of us! Thank you so much, Jeanne. I loved your kit!

Special also this month is a drawing for some blog candy and a one-day discount sale at Serendipity Stamps in honor of this month's 12 Kits blog hop! Everything Christmas will be 20% off today only! See details about the blog candy below.

My first card may be my favorite. It would be hard to choose because I am also so in love with Santa and the plaid paper in my second card! But I made this one first and loved coloring the gorgeous poinsettia. Plus this die cut is so pretty. I used some Antique Linen Distress Ink to help show more of the detail.

Here's my second card! I absolutely love plaid and this Santa is another one of the great Serendipity stamps. They are super easy to color. I used Spellbinders Labels 1 to cut him out. I debated about adding a bow but decided to keep it simple and just use the ribbon to give the look of a wrapped gift.

Look at the fantastic ornament die that is available as blog candy! Serendipity Stamps is giving away the ornament die and stamp set to one lucky winner drawn from all the comments left on the 12 Kits blogs. I used the silver one but Jeanne sent red and gold too. Just imagine all the beautiful cards you could make!

This last card is using another one of the many die cuts I had to chose from. The detail on all of them is fabulous! I added a little Martha Stewart chunky glitter to the stamped scene.
