S & S Sketch #90




Good Sunday Morning,
It's going to be a beautiful day here today. I need to divide my time between indoors and outdoors. We'll see how well I do with that. All my careful planning usually ends up going out the window once I start a project. Today over at OWH's Stars and Stamps Blog they gave us this sketch to follow. I found it to be quite easy. I am still trying to get a bunch of Christmas cards done for OWH so I went with that theme for this challenge. The other day I was looking through an old box of doo-dads and I came across these little stocking brads, which I thought I would use on today's card. They seem to fit right in. The top panel was an old piece of green and white paper from my stash and I stamped and colored the holly and leaves to brighten it up. The bottom panel is from KandCompany and I just added a few silver and gold stars along with some gold dots. I edged both panels with my trusty Krylon Gold Pen. The sentiment is from SU's Teeny Tiny Wishes. The card stock is SU's Very Vanilla. Well, I'm off to the outdoors for now. Thanks for taking a minute to stop by. See you tomorrow.

  5. Nice card -- I like the way you added some sparkle with the silver and gold stars along with the dots. The stocking brads are a nice touch too. I know outdoors is calling me today too -- but I want to get some more cards done -- see what the end of the day brings. :-)

  8. What a pretty card. I like the brads. Also like the little easel which reminded me I have one of those in closet somewhere. Hope you don't mind if I steal the idea of using it.
