Wind Blown Penguin

This week for the challenge over at i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #129, I chose to use both the sketch and the twist. The twist was to use heat embossing. I used a snowflake stamp from Hero Arts and embossed it with clear embossing ink and stamped it on to white cardstock. Then, after heat setting, I went over it with several shades of blue Distress Inks and wiped it with a baby wipe. The three snowflakes are plastic white ones that I sprayed with my Copics in B2. I used thee ribbons to make the stripe in the background that matched the colors of the balloons. This cute little penguin and sentiment come from a set called Wind Blown Penguin.

In the Meadow

i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #127 has a really nice sketch to use and/or to have lots of white and use color for embellishment as the twist. I chose to do both. I used the digital set called "In the Meadow". The background is an embossing folder. I colored gently with pale Copics and sprayed the flowers with my Copic air brush. The Merry Christmas comes from Maya Road dies.
The scene is popped up on foam and the whole white panel is popped up with large foam squares.

Christmas Tree Shaped Card

This week's twist for Twisted Thursday, over at The Outlawz, is to have something with wings. I chose this sweet little Christmas Angel,  from our sponsor, Ppinkey Dolls.

I have a brand new Scan n Cut, by Brother, that I used to design a Christmas tree card. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I did two trees that I created and overlapped them. Then, I cut a single one using different paper for the front. I edged that with Distress Inkes and added some Stickles. The image is popped up with foam for dimension.

Playing With Snow

The optional twist over at Twisted Thursday on The Outlawz is to do "paper piecing". Well, that's a new one for me and I had to ask what it was. It simply means to cut out, from different papers, part of the image. Our sponsor, PpinkyDolls, has this cute little girl, Playing With the Snow. I colored her with Copics and then added a sweater, scarf, and ear muffs from patterned paper from Colorbok. The ends of the scarf are lifted with foam tabs. I used the same sweater paper for the base that keeps the card propped open. The big flakes are made with Neon Amplify and the bottom snow and bigger flakes and sentiment are embossed with Snow from Recollections. The white brad is from Recollections and the small snowflakes were stamped with Hero Arts White Ink.

Mouse Balloon, From the Heart

This week i {heart} card sketches w/a tWist is #126, From the Heart. I used both the sketch and the twist. I couldn't resist this cute little mouse with a balloon for the focal point of the card. Can you believe that this image with sentiments is FREE right now? Do hop over and get your own! I used a stencil from Poppy Crafts and my Copic air brush to do the background. The green circle is embossed and then sprayed with the air brush as well. I used the texturing technique on the mouse to make him a bit furry and I fussy cut out the balloon, topped it with Glossy Accents and  popped it up for dimension. The sentiment also comes with this nice set and is popped as well.
