"A Little Bit Retro" Cards In Envy challenge

Hi. The current challenge (closes tomorrow Oct. 6) at Cards In Envy is "A Little Bit Retro." I used an OWH sketch and I thought this retro Christmas paper by Reminisce would be great for punching out inchies:

 

Inchies dp: "Snowman Collage" by Reminisce

DP: "Festive" 6x6 bundle by Authentique

Sentiment and Word Window Punch: Stampin' Up

Multiples: OWH MIdweek Throwdown challenge

Welcome again, Allison, to the job of Midweek Throwdown Challenge hostess! I wanted to give your first challenge -- Multiples -- a try. I don't usually make multiples so I thought this would be a good challenge for me. I chose an OWH sketch (#153) that requires just a few simple pieces. I tweaked the measurements slightly to allow for the black mat. Here are the pieces of my card:

Black mat: 5 1/4 x 4 1/8"

Green Polka dot layer: 5 3/8 x 4"

Black polka dot square: 3 1/4 x 3 1/4"

Penguin square: 2 1/4 x 2 1/4"

Strips: 5 3/8 x 1/2" 

 

Assembled card:

 

 

"Coffee Penguin" rubber stamp: Memory Box

Sentiment: Stamps by Judith

DPs: "Dream" 6x6 paper pad, My Mind's Eye

Touches of Copics: Golden Yellow and Cool Shadow

Flat button, thread, and "faux" photo corner

 

 Thanks for stopping by and thanks again for this fun challenge, Allison!

 



Winter scene: fun with Graphic 45

Hi! I couldn't resist making this little paper-pieced winter scene using the Hero Arts OWH "Close to Home" set and Graphic 45's "Country French" patterned paper. I love blue & white for winter/Christmas and love anything French! I had trouble getting this one to photograph well and my matting is crooked, but I wanted to share it:



I have lost (misplaced, I hope!) the little fence that goes with this Hero Arts set :( !  I really hope I can find it! The sentiment banner is a clear stamp that was one of the first winter sets I purchased at Michael's in 2010. I edged the banner, snowflakes and snow with Copic "Snow Green". This was a fun flight of fancy on my part! Thanks for stopping by!
