Hello all!! I hope all is well with you!!  Boy is everything still so pretty with the fall leaves and the colors.  Unfortunately we had a lot of rain and wind and they are dropping quickly now.  Oh well...  Soon the cold weather will be here.  What I like best about winter is Christmas and family time especially on Sundays by the fireplace.

With that in mind, I decided to create another gift lunch box using the poinsettia image from Vintage Christmas at Whimsy.  I used the Lunch box template created by Lauren Meader for Paper Trey.  I bet you can't tell what my new fave Christmas paper is...you bet ya...Basic Grey Jovial!! Love the colors and designs and how they coordinate!!  The image is colored with watercolors and layered. I had to add some lace to give it a vintage flair and also some glittered gold ric rac to give it a little glitz.




 recipe:
stamps: Vintage Christmas at Whimsy.
paper: water color, Basic Grey Jovial
accessories: Labels 10 Spellbinders, lace, glittered ric rac
Template for box: Lauren Meader's lunchbox available at Paper Trey

WAGS N WHISKERS CHALLENGE

My second creation is a first for me.  I have never colored an image in all black and white (silhouettes or stamped flowers yes but coloring an entire image...No!!  It was almost intimidating and a real challenge for me to use just black and white (with the exception of the pink cheeks...o.k. so I cheated just a little..LOL!)  I actually am pleased with how it turned out.

This card is for the Wags n Whiskers challenge!!  This week our challenge is hosted by Angelique!!  She really challenged us all with using only black and white (or sepia) on our creations (including the coloring)

I am so excited to announce that Wags n Whiskers
 has now opened up the challenges to ALL stamps!!
It is no longer a requirement to use a Wags 'n Whiskers image on your card. But there will be a separate prize if you DO use a WnW image!

Starting this week, one random participant will win a
Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamp of their choice.
And any entry using a Wags 'n Whiskers image on their card will be entered into a drawing for a free WnW Digital stamp of your choice!!
Therefore, anyone who uses a Wags 'n Whiskers image will be entered into both prizes of a rubber stamp and a digital stamp!!
The only requirements are that you link directly to your challenge project - not to the main page of your blog. You must have a new project (no back linking). And you must link your card to the challenge post.
If you do not have a blog, you can still enter the challenges by uploading your cards to an open gallery such as Splitcoast Stampers.
So what are you waiting for, join the challenge!!
Now on to my creation:

I used one of my fave Wags n Whiskers image Puppy love.  I also followed this week's Sketch for you to Try Sketch designed by Jen.  The sentiment is from an old SU set (the set name is escaping me so I will have to check later).  I used copics to color my image including W-1, W-2, W-5, W-7 and R-10. The dp is from Memory Box Halloween.  I did add stitching although the layers covers up a lot of it.




stamps: Wags n Whiskers Puppy Love, SU for the sentiment
Nestabilities: Lacey circles, scalloped circles, classic circles
Paper: Memory Box Halloween from a few years ago
punches: SU Circle
accessories: ric rac (large), rhinestones
