And what else could I make for my rocking chick but a fun Anya card? (Seriously, tonight she went out in a jersey dress with a belt, pink leggings, hot pink socks and black tap shoes...she is reliving all the worst parts of the 80s...ha!) I elected to go with the 2S4U sketch and some fun colors (black, cameo coral, cool Caribbean and celery?)...I am sure it will be right up her alley!
Today's challenge is to recycle a previous LPS sketch and create a holiday card. There are a lot of ones that I have liked but this one hit my fancy when I was choosing which one to do.
I was really intrigued by this sketch from the Truly Scrumptious blog. (I tell you, if it wasn't for these sketches lately, I would have even less that the little mojo I do!) Although I elected to go with the standard A2 card, I think I kept the rest in keeping with the sketch. The tree is from the age-old standard "Lovely as a Tree" (SU!), the sentiment is from the Little Paper Shop and the flourish on the DP is from Autumn leaves.
Making more baby cards for my BFF Andrea who is about to pop at any moment! On that, I had remarked to some of my friends, including the Cal-gals, about how much I liked Sue's card (at left...click the image to see the original on her blog) and was looking to get that stamp or one similar (esp. since there would be very little coloring...can't beat that!). Shannon was nice enough to lend me this Happy Hoppers stamp to make some with the same Parisian Breeze DP Sue had used. I combined it with this week's Mojo Monday sketch. (Note: I used "Rich Earth" ink from Technique Tuesday that is brown with a reddish hue...quite striking with left on its own!)
