SEW MANY CARDS--WORLD CARD MAKING DAY CHALLENGE!!

HEY!!!

Glad you could make it!!!

We're so glad that you decided to blog hop with Sew Many Cards in honor of World Card Making Day!!! I can't wait to see your challenge entry!

Here's the card I came up with using one of the images from Sew Many Cards. Angela always has such great images!!! Be sure to check them all out! Don't forget to check out the rest of the Design Teams Challenge entries and blogs!!

The challenge was to use one of Angelas images over at the Sew Many Cards shop.

Two patterned pieces of paper.

Any type of ribbon.

Something with glitter.

The image I chose was Morty the Moose. I love moose, so I was excited when Angela introduced him to us a few weeks ago!

Morty was printed multiple times for layers and then colored with my prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The two patterned papers I used came from the Holiday Slab V by Provo Craft. I also used a piece of solid green paper from that same slab for the background matte and a piece of Stampin' Up! Whisper White Cardstock to mount Morty on. The white cardstock was sprayed with Olive Vine Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

Mortys hat is decked out in Crystal Ice Ice Stickles! The patches on Morty were colored in using Starry Night Stickles. Glossy Accents were used on Mortys eyes and feet. I used a Gold and Green ribbon by Ribbon Boutique the Designer Collection, that I picked up from Michaels to lay across the top and bottom. A tag gun was used to attach the Stampin' Up sentiment - 'A little something for you' and the "Merry Christmas" up top was computer generated!

Sewn Together Challenge ~Week 4..9/15 - 9/21~ "Eris bakes Christmas Cookies"

This weeks challenge over at Sew Many Cards is to make something using the sketch that Angela gave us. The sketch and my answer to the sketch is below!

Be sure to check out Sew Many Cards every Friday for the Freebie Friday!!! You're welcome to use one of the free images or purchase one of the many cute images Angela has in her store! All entries are due in by midnight of Sept 21 .....winner will receive 3 FREE IMAGES FROM THE SEW MANY CARDS STORE!!!!

We hope to see your entry this week at Sew Many Cards!

Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Teams creations this week!! You'll find all of them in the right sidebar!!!

So this week I used Eris baking Christmas Cookies!! I thought he was so cute, and since we are HUGE University of Alabama fans, I just had to use the elephant, and if ya notice, use their colors lol (well except for the green)

So anyways, Eris was printed out 3 times and layered in the center of the card. He was colored once again with my Prisma Pencils and Gamsol. Glossy Accents were used on his eyes & toes and the batter in the bowl.

All papers are from the Rob & Bob Studio Holiday Slab V from Provo Craft.

Ribbon is from Michaels and the snowflakes are from Soft Spoken.
Studio G ink was used for edging.

Hope ya like!!!
