I had a chance to play with a few card challenges today! I wanted to play along with my good friend Jo's Christmas Kickstart challenge, and decided to combine it with two other challenges. Jo's challenge asks for bears, the current Jingle Belles challenge wants music, and I found a sketch to try on Just Add Ink. I'm not totally sure the trifecta was a good idea in the end, but here's my card:
The bear part was easy! I knew I wanted to use one of the sweet bear images from a wooden stamp cube I've had approximately forever. While none of them are overtly musical, I thought this could easily have carols playing quietly in the background. :D I really liked the card sketch until it actually came to use it - so many layers for CAS me! I did the best I could with it.
I'm back in the morning with the newest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge!
Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Ranger/Tim Holtz watercolour paper, Teresa Collins Santa's List patterned paper, Stamp Barn polar bear & Uniko Simply Said Blocks Christmas stamps, Versafine onyx black & Altenew sapphire inks, Hero Arts white satin pearl embossing powder, Zig markers, Tim Holtz/Ideo-ology tissue tape, scrap of wrapping paper
I think it works beautifully, Lindsay - what a great card! Love the colours and your choice of images and patterns. It's a stunner! Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card, great job with the sketch and wtg pairing it with the challenges.
ReplyDeletei'm gonna have to respectfully disagree bc/ the trifecta ROCKS, imo! i think you did brilliantly with the sketch (i'm quietly chuckling at the "too many layers" aspect lol) and the adorable bear and snowman kind of look to me like they might be caroling, but even if not... the music washi is awesome! so glad you could sing along with us at JINGLE BELLES! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteAwww what a sweet little bear!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job combining the challenges ... love the vibrant blue ... so very glad you helped us *sing* at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun Christmas card, Lindsay and a great job combining all the challenge elements. Your bear and snowman image is super sweet and I love your idea of hearing carols playing in the background. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the sketch Lindsey! I love how you used the different music strips to also tie your colours in with that adorable polar bear image. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week. Kim
ReplyDeleteIt's like they're listening to a concert. Such a sweet image.
