Merry Letterpress Winter ~ CAS(E) this Sketch 101


Today's card is for CAS(E) This Sketch 101.  I can't recall that I've ever played along at CAS(E) before, simply because I don't consider myself a clean and simple style card maker.  More is better is my motto, in fact often times I'll look at my finished card and think, "what else can I add?" LOL!  I know there are those of you out there that can relate to me!!!


This card all started with the piece of All Is Calm DSP that was laying on my desk.  I cut the snowflake out of the center and used it on another project.  
I'm always a sucker for a black and silver Christmas card....it comes off so elegant! That's the direction I took here.  I stamped and silver embossed the coordinating snowflake from Letterpress Winter into the center of my DSP. 
For the MERRY, after I cut it out with the Expressions Thinlits die in white cardstock, I inked it with versamark, spinkled it with Heat and Stick powder and then sprinkled it again with silver glitter.  After all that I realized I probably could have just cut the MERRY out of Silver Glimmer paper.  Oh well!   


A little silver ribbon and a rhinestone finish off this CAS project. 
Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Letterpress Winter
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Black, White, All is Calm DSP
Accessories: Heat and Stick powder, Silver EP, Silver 1/4" ribbon, Expressions Thinlits die, Rhinestones

Thanks for taking a peek!

Penguin Greetings ~ CCMC328 & RS139


Penguins are my very favorite animal in the world and I've been wanting to paper piece this little guy for a long time.  For this card I used the color combo from Create With Connie and Mary 328 and the sketch from Retro Sketches 139.  I just love this sketch! Most people must have because there are a lot of entries there this week!  I had hoped to play along and I'm making my submission just under the wire!

I thought the combo at CCM this week was perfect for my penguin.  I used some fun paper from the Trim The Tree paper stack.  I also incorporated some of the All Is Calm DSP.  


Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Zoo Review, Letterpress Winter
Ink: Memento black, Smokey Slate, Cherry Cobbler Blendabilites
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Smokey Slate, Lost Lagoon, White, All Is Calm & Trim The Tree DSP
Accessories: Adorning Accents die & EF, Northern Flurry EF, Silver 1/4" ribbon, rhinestones
