More is More

It is SOOOO good to be home!  No matter how much I love a vaction I’m always glad to get home!  I woke up with a bit of a sore throat so I stuck around the house today doing laundry and such.  I’ve been dying to stamp so I had decided last night that I would make time today to sit down and do the SCS Sketch Challenge.  It was a fun layout to work with.

My card is 4.25″ square and the focal point is Frosty from Home Sweet Home a Stamp a Sweet Impression set by Taylored Expressions.  He was stamped with Memento Black ink on Choice Natural White cardstock (from TE) which is a soft ivory/vanilla color.  I colored hom with the Copics pictured below to coordinate with this fun designer paper from the Christmas Key Ingredients pack.  The snow under Frosty is white Liquid Applique covered with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and then heated to puff up.

I started this card with a 4″ square panel of Regal Rose cardstock and using my Scor-It I scored lines 1″ from each edge all around.  Then I adhered the strips of dp and the focal image.  The Rose panel was then layered onto a Riding Hood Red panel cut just 1/16″  larger.  Felt Flurries (SU) snowflakes in Baja Blue were added along with red rhinestone brads.  The sentiment (from Home Sweet Home) was stamped and punched with the SU small oval punch.  I was going to layer it onto a Riding Hood Red large oval, but it didn’t look quite right, so instead I simply scraped the edge of the small oval in the RHR ink pad  to give it a bit of a faux-layered look.  The Rose/Riding Hood Red panel was then adhered to the blue (cardstock from Key Ingredients) base using foam tape.

The inside of the card was finished off with snowflakes and a strip of dp along with the sentiment.

I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT and offer my heartfelt congratulations to my friends Joy and Cami and their partner Kimberly on the launch of their new stamp company Our Craft Lounge!  Have you seen their stuff yet?  I’m so excited for them and proud of all they have accomplished in a short time.  You ladies ROCK!  Sorry I’m so late to the party!  I don’t have the sets I ordered yet, but I hope to play with them soon!

It’s back to work for me tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by!
