A Couple of Wednesday Challenges

Today I am playing in a couple of challenges - Fab Friday 29 had such a trendy sketch, I just had to play;

I used a new product [for me], Gelatos.  I got this really fun kit, and I had to play and see the end result.  I like these things!  Very fun, easy and they make a pretty background.  I used a sentiment from Inspired By Stamping, Masculine Tags, a Tim Holtz embossing folder, Regal Flourishes and a MFT die, Peek a Boo Chevron













I also played in the Fusion Challenge. I haven't played in this challenge in a while. I fused both the color and sketch challenge.

I used a Christmas sentiment from Inspired By Stamping, Holiday Sentiments and a Tim Holtz die, Reindeer Flight.  A different Christmas card, but I like it!











The next card, I was just playing around with IBS, Paris image to make a stamped background and my Silhouette for cutting out letters. 


and then I also love making tags this time of year;

I used the IBS music background stamp from, Background Basics 3 and the For from, Masculine Tags.  I use Ranger Archival Jet Black ink to get the fabulous, dark, stamped bg.  I love that ink for its boldness.

That's it for me today -- rather productive I'm thinkin!



Thanks for stopping by~
