Craft Dash #7: Simply Delightful

Sharing a card I made for the 10 minute Craft Dash #7

Features "Simply Delightful" and Typically Teen" by the Craft's Meow.

Thought I'd play with the crushed ribbon and make a large bow.  

Not my usual style (thick to mail), but happy with the result.

The card took 7 minutes and 32 seconds to create. 
All the stamps and inks were ready to go.
That bow took most of it, hee hee! 

 

 I am also entering this into Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge.

Still time to join the Card Drive for Addison!

RCC74: Fall Spirit

Been an eventful week.  

Cleaning for Thanksgiving.  Bought a new vehicle. Got my card drive all caught up (until I check the mail today).  Boys' wish lists are sent out to the family.  Lights are up outside (tragically a few didn't make it this year.... sniff...sniff may they rest in peace). Front yard is leaf free for the moment.  Cleaned the other vehicle top to bottom.  Older son diagnosed with strep on Sat morning.... yadda yadda yadda.

Here's a fall card I made.
No idea who made the tree stamp.
I covered it with some red ink and added brown marker to the trunk.
I added 3 different colors of Stickles to enhance to leaves.

52CCT and Craft's Meow sketch equals....

...another Christmas card!!!!!
 I really like this one!  
you know what I mean... some barely come off the bat and others go over the fence...
The crowd roars...  

This one was inspired by color of the 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown 

and the sketch from The Craft's Meow November Sketch.

I stamped and colored the reindeer with Copics and paper pieced the tree.

The back white panel was stamped with snowflakes using Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

 

The deer was raised with dimensional foam:

10 minute dash #6

Had a few minutes the other day before picking up the little one from kindergarten so I decided to do the 10 minute craft dash challenge.  

This card took 9:48.

I had everything set out and collected and the panels cut so the 

time was mainly spent coloring!

The balloon and hat were colored and cut out while the frog 
was stamped and colored directly on the paper.  
Could not get his cheeks to blend more so he has a big blush!
Must be visiting a girl frog, hee hee

Supplies:

Stamps: Purple Onion

Polka Pot panel: MME

Other: Copics, Glossy Accents (balloon), Peeled Paint Distress

Thanks for looking.

Please consider joining my Card Drive for Addison.

Ends 12/20.  AWESOME prizes!
