Sketch Challenges

Slowly but surely, I am leaving some of my teams.  That means I get to play in more challenges since my blog is opening up. It also means I get to use products that have been collecting dust in my stamp room over the last year or so. :)

Today I am joining in CAS(E) this Sketch #196.

Can't go wrong when I get to make a colorful leaf.  As some of you know, in my area of Arizona, we don't get color, we get brown. Yuk.  That said, I get Fall colors vicariously through my cards. ;)  I cut my leaf with [retired] Spellbinders Harvest Leaves Dies in water color paper, and then proceeded to add water colors until I liked the vividness.  I sprinkled glitter on it before it completely dried.  I used Whisker Graphics Green Solid Divine Twine and a sentiment from..... a set. HA! [I don't know who's it is.]


I went on to play in CAS Colours & Sketches #197, also a sketch for this challenge.

 I used Spellbinders Create a Flake Three with some red mirror paper, and the mc is from Hero Arts Merry Christmas Trees.


Great sketch challenges~ Thanks.


Thanks for stopping by~

LOVE the glitter added to your beautiful fall maple leaf ... adds to sparkle and texture. Great design with the lines of twine.

Your red foil snowflakes are gorgeous! So pretty paired with the green glitter paper.

Two fantastic cards Vicki!! xx
