Happy Thursday!!!

Hello everyone....hope you are having a wonderful Thursday!!! I went to the local grade school again this morning to help some third graders read. It's sooo sad to realize that some children do not have the opportunity to read at home..even if the school sends the books home with the children. Arrrrrr!!! Ok, I'll get off my soap box and on to my card...

This card was created using the sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #23. It also qualifies for the Lili of the Valley Challenge to make a Christmas Card for a child, Ohh La La Creations to use 3 different shapes, and the Paperplay Challenge to use my favorite embellishment which is bling!!

The deer image from Flourishes Flourished Christmas set was embossed with Gold Embossing Tinsel and colored with pastels. Tiny pink bling from Taylor's Tiny Twinkles was used on the antlers, vanilla pearls were used along the side of the snowflakes, and the snowflake stickers with blingy centers, ribbon, and sewing around the background layer finished it off.

Recipe:

Stamps: Flourishes Flourished Christmas

Paper: Vanilla, Prism Classic Yellowgreen, Prism Baby Pink Medium, SEI Christmas Mint

Ink: Versamark

Accessories: Taylor's Tiny Twinkles, Sewing Machine, Gold Embossing Tinsel, Pearls, Pastels, Sandylion Essentials Snowflake Stickers

I made this card Tuesday for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast to use Bermuda Bay, Apricot Appeal, and Chocolate Chip.

This is also for Anne's (jdmommy) DDC challenge (post #39 in the DDC thread) from last week to make a masculine get well card. The Rubbernecker Victorian Diamond Panel background stamp was stamped with Ranger Distress Embossing ink and embossed with clear ep. After sponging on Bermuda Bay and Apricot Appeal, Perfect Pearls and water was spritzed on and dried with a heat tool. The leaf image from Rubbernecker's Fall Trilogy set was stamped with Bermuda Bay and embossed with clear ep. It was also sponged with BB and AA and spritzed with PP's. The sentiment was hand written because I didn't have a get well sentiment the right size. Since we couldn't use ribbon or flowers (per Anne's rules) I used brown twine, sewing, and brown pearls to finish it off.
