Cute Turtle

This week at Stella Says Sketch Challenge I choose this cute Bugaboo turtle stamp as the focal point of the sketch to make my card. I think she is so cute!
Green Base Card Cardstock - Craft Smith "Holiday Glitzy Solids" stack.
Turtle - Is a Bugaboo stamp which I colored using watercolor pencils. I added square pink & green gems to the bow, flower center and her "shoes". I matted the turtle with two different shades of green
White Ribbon - Is a loop design cotton lace.
Strip - I cut it from pattern paper that has a leaves and twigs design on it.
Sentiment - I typed using the "Baby Muffins" font, matted it with green and added a pink square gemstone.

Angels

I created this card from the sketch at "Feeling Sketchy" this week. I really liked this sketch with all it's possibilities. I love Christmas cards in any shade of blues, with touches of silver and/or white. It's a nice alternative to the more traditional Christmas cards in reds and greens. Happy with the way this one turned out.
**Lt. Blue Square - I used a Darice "Stars" folder on it and matted it to the darker blue base card.
**Frames - I used a very fine glitzy cardstock from the "Holiday Glitzy Solids " stack by CraftSmith, on the blue frame and regular white cardstock on the smaller frame. I used Spellbinder dies on both.
**Image - Is a computer-down. I added "Crystal Glitter Puffy Paint" by ILoveToCreate on the Angel wings and all of the Harp. I see on the photo the puffy glitter does not show up very well, think I will add more to the Harp frame and a few strokes more to the strings for a better look.
**Flowers - Are pre-made by Recollections at Michael's. The leaves I cut out of white cardstock using a Martha Stewart leaf punch.
**Sentiment - I liked the clean look of the card without a sentiment, so I decided not to add one.

Winter Girls

Halloween is out, Christmas is in...poor Thanksgiving Day just gets over-looked😢😢!
This is a card using the Monthly Sketch at http://vlvsketches.blogspot.com/. I want to combine it with the theme over at  http://cagichallenge.blogspot.com/ which is "Winter Girls".
Image - Computer down-load. I matted the image in red with the same cardstock as the white panel.
Embossed Blue Panel - I used a Cuttlebug "Snowflakes" folder.
White & Red Panels - From the Craft Smith stack called "Holiday Glitzy Solids". This is a very fine glittered (glitzy) cardstock. I used a "Septum Noir" glitter pen all over the blue snowflakes strip and the Snowman.
Border Panel - Martha Stewart "Garden Trellis"  2" border punch.
Skittles - I took some clear skittles and added Tombow Aqua Liquid glue to the tops and rolled them around some very fine "glitter" for some glitz.
Sorry, for the messing look at the top of the white panel. It is some of the very fine glitter that rubbed off of the Skittles. As much as I tried to remove it, it just would not come off. 😞
