Atlantic Hearts Challenge #32

I'm playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Challenge this week, with the Frosted WOTG stamp set, and the Sparkle & Shine paper pack:

I was trying hard to incorporate juniper into the card somehow (that's the minty green that you see in the polka dot paper)... I tried second generation snowflakes behind the sentiment, but it was way too busy.  I used to own juniper grosgrain ribbon, but not any longer, so I couldn't add any ribbon.  Anyhow, I decided that plain was best for now - any suggestions?

Patterned papers are Sparkle & Shine, Cardstock is Slate, Ruby & White Daisy; Ink is Slate; Stamp set is Frosted Workshop on the Go - all Close To My Heart.

 

Always Grateful

I've used one of the trees from CTMH's Always Grateful stamp set, along with a sentiment from last year's Pear & Partridge WOTG to make two cards tonight (both the same!).  The papers are from the Sparkle and Shine pack:

Patterned papers are Sparkle & Shine; Cardstock is Slate & White Daisy; Stamp sets are Always Grateful & Pear & Partridge; Inks are Juniper and Slate; Sparkle trim - all Close To My Heart.

A Bright & Sparkly Christmas!

I have a bright & sparkly card for you today, using the Art Impressions Lighted Snowman Set (Sku#4349) that I used in my Faux Globe last week...  The houndstooth is a shimmery paper, and the glitter tape and bling give it a fair bit of sparkle.  The inside sentiment is "Have a bright & sparkly Christmas!":

Patterned papers are Sparkle & Shine, Close To My Heart and Season's Greetings by Echo Park; Cardstock is Grey Flannel & White Daisy; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers; Sparkles, CTMH; Martha Stewart snowflake punch and Snowflake dies from My Favorite Things.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #27

I stumbled upon this great new (to me!) sketch challenge yesterday, and immediately wanted to play!  The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge has lovely sketches that come out on Mondays, and a wonderful design team that posts on Wednesdays.  This is my first time cutting into CTMH's holiday Sparkle & Shine papers, and it is also (gasp!) the first time that I've ever used Ruby??  It really is a lovely holiday red, so is on my list to add to my order today:

The stamped images look a little pale in the photo, they're a bit darker in real life.  The deer are stamped in Whisper, the sentiment in Slate, and the swirly snow in Heavenly Blue.  I wanted to pick up the pale blue a little more, so the zigzag stitching is blue also - hard to see, though.  I added chunky glitter to the snowflakes and swirls for a little extra sparkle.  Here was our sketch:
