Saturday Sketch

Happy Saturday, and welcome to my blog! Did you miss me last week?  I was in Germany and Austria on a tour of the Christmas markets!  All I can say is WOW!  I will share some photos from my trip soon.  So for now, grab your cup of coffee and check out the card I created for this week's Utah Divas International sketch. You can find links to all of the cards and designers here. This month's sketches were designed by team member Michelle Montague. And here is the sketch for the week, DIVASC219.

Here's my take on the sketch. I made a similar card with a pair of mittens at my Christmas stamp-a-stack class and thought the mittens would work well in this sketch.

Here's the recipe~

• Papers ~ Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green 
•  Inks ~ Cherry Cobbler
•  Stamps ~ Chock-Full of Cheer (greeting)
• Accessories ~ Big Shot, Northern Flurry Folder, Square Lattice Folder, Merry Minis Punch Pack, Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim

As I write this, my heart is heavy with the devastating news from Connecticut.  So many innocent lives cut short... I will be praying for the families and friends of all of the victims.  Without stricter gun control laws in our country, I'm afraid this will continue.  When will this stop?

Saturday sketch

Happy Saturday, and welcome to my blog! Grab your cup of coffee and check out the card I created for this week's Utah Divas International sketch. You can find links to all of the cards and designers here. This month's sketches were designed by team member Michelle Montague.  Here is the sketch for the week, DIVASC217.  This a such a classic look, isn't it?

I used the same stamp sets that I used last week, but I think you will agree that the sketch and the colors give it a completely different look!  If you scroll down to my post from last Saturday, November 24, you will see what I mean.

• Papers ~ Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green
• Inks ~ Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Soft Suede
• Stamps ~ Watercolor Winter, Greetings of the Season
• Accessories ~ Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details, Dazzling Diamonds, 1 3/8"punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

The card is a Very Vanilla base and I photographed it on some Cherry Cobbler card stock.  (I didn't intend to confuse you and have you think it was a Cherry Cobbler base!  This has been a very busy week and I just finished my second Christmas stamp-a-stack, so I am a little tired!)  Both the greeting and the main image are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I'm glad that the camera picked up the sparkle on the pine cones.  A little Dazzling Diamonds will dress up any card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I read all of your comments and I appreciate it when you take time out of your busy schedule to give me feedback.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,
Barbara
