Paper Trey Ink Blog Hop and Vellum Die Cuts

 

I am way behind on making Christmas cards!! Oh well. 

 

On Nichole's blog I was drawn to the Liars book cover.  I liked the idea of a wind-blown feeling.  That is what I tried to portray with this card and the snow flakes.  You can find more information at Capture the Moment November Blog Hop.

I also tried to use Layered Vellum die cuts from Make It Monday.  I inked some of them, and left others white.  Added a bit of glitter and pearl centers to finish them off.

 

I used the color palette from Play Date Cafe and this fits the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday 

 

 

And lastly, I think this qualifies for Less is More: Glamour and Glitz . The patterned paper is so glitzy!! 

 

supplies:

Stamps: Paper Trey Ink

Paper: cardstock: PTI; patterned: Recollections

Diecuts: PTI and another old small punch

Ink: assorted

other: pearls; white embossing powder.

 

Thank you for looking!!

Make It Monday - Floating Image

Can you see the little bird in the window?

 

When I saw the technique over at Paper Trey Make It Monday, I knew it was one I wanted to try.  Things have finally settled down a bit (for me) after "Sandy", and I've been off from work all week. So I had the opportunity to create this card today. 

It was fun, relaxing and a bit of normalcy creating this. 
I used this sketch from Jingle Bells . And the color challenge from Dynamic Duos .

 

I am also putting this into 52 Card Pick Up .

supplies:
all PTI except for "Nestabilities" circles, and the snowflakes.

That's all from me for now.  I hope everyone affected by Sandy is recovering, both physically and emotionally.  For some, I know, it will be a very long process.
