WOJ Sketch/ YNS Sketch/ Creative Belli Snow

12:01 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope every one had a great New Year's holiday!! I know I did! I just got back from spending some quality time with my family and some of our friends. Monday, my hubby and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. Scott is such a blessing to me!! I thank God for him and my two darling girls every day. Yesterday, I had a root canal done and was in pain...so sorry it has taken me so long to get into the swing of things this year.

Today I have a few cards to share with you...

First...for the Whiff of Joy Challenge which is a Sketch Challenge.

Today's challenge #95 is a sketch. The sketch was designed by the talented and sweet Jane.

For my creation I used the adorable Kneeling Willow. I colored her with copics. The dp is from my scraps and from DCWV Music. The border of the card is cut out using the Grand Labels one die and the grand caliber.
The flower is hand crocheted. The inside flower includes a brass flower brad. Behind my image is a heart panel using the Spellbinders Hearts (scalloped and classic).

For more creations using this fun sketch, visit my extremely talented dt sisters:

Anne , Chelsea, Gio, Jane, Kathrin, Kylie, Louise, Manuela. Michelle

My second creation is for two challenges: The Your Next Stamp (YNS) challenge using my creative and talented dt sister, Kerri's sketch and the Creative Belli challenge to use snow (I have another creation for this challenge that is posted on the Creative Belli challenge blog which I will post tomorrow).

For my creation I used the image Fhiona Skating from YNS.

The image is colored with copics. The background is embossed with a snowflake border from Provocrafts winter borders. The square is framed with the Spellbinders Lacey squares. The dp is SEI Citrus. The snowflakes in the back ground of the image is Stampin Up's Bundle UP snowflakes stamp.

For more inspiration for the YNS challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
