My friend Mercy is celebrating her birthday tomorrow, so I thought it was only fitting that I’d create a card for her using her own sketch (MTSC50). I don’t know why I’ve never participated in her sketch challenges before; her layouts are awesome. Happy Birthday, Mercy!
Thanks for stopping by!

No stamping on this card, I’m afraid. Just a lot of “fussy gluing” with those skinny snowflakes and tiny letters! The Naturals Ivory snowflakes against the Naturals Ivory background create an embossed look, which is why this technique is called faux embossing.
I couldn’t resist participating in Beate’s last weekend sketch challenge of the year (WSC109)! Here’s to many more fabulous sketches in 2010!

I’m ready to start stamping again! A sketch challenge is always a nice starting point, and I picked Verve’s VLVDec01 challenge for this monochromatic winter card.
Background snowflakes were stamped with blue and white ink on textured Bazzill card stock. I touched some of the dark blue dots with a sparkly gel pen. The circular image was covered with glitter and punched out.
Thanks for stopping by!
