Vintage Winter


Happy New Year 2012!! I hope everyone had a great and safe holiday. Just a quick story about this card. For Christmas my sweet husband surprised me with a computerized sewing machine. I had my eye on this sewing machine since early September.  What a surprise. Hubby and I never exchange gifts for Christmas. Everyday is Christmas and we are very blessed. Anyway this is my first card I did sewing on. Still on training wheels. It is very addicting to say the least. Ok don’t laugh. My mom is a seamstress what happened to me. LOL. She taught me how to sew when I was small. I have to tell you I was board but, I am glad she showed me. It made my sewing journey a little bit easier. Thanks mom. Now I know hubby is thinking. I am going to make him some golf covers for his clubs. LOL. 

This card size is 6 x 6. The image I used is Served with Love by Whimsy Stamps. I colored it with Sketch Copic Markers. Colors used. Snowman/Penguin Hats and Scarfs- B95, B93,B91. Snowman/Penguin’s feet, nose and lips- E35, E53, E31,Snowman – C1, BG10, Penguin- C7,C5, C4, C3, Cocoa – E35, Cheeks-R20. Prisma Pencils for shadowing – Slate Grey, Warm Gray. 

 Dp- Let it Snow by Kelly Pancci. Cardstock Stampin Up-  Bravo Burgundy, Whisper white.  Martha Stewart – Skyland SnowFlake Deep Edge Punch on left side applied Décor Art Glamour Dust. Short story about this Martha Stewart punch. I was in Joanne’s last week and all Martha Stewart Christmas punches were 70%. I got this punch for $5.99 OMW! What a deal. These items were from my stash -Snowflake,Twine, Blue Crystal and brown button, ribbon. WildOrchid and KaiserCraft Flowers applied Twinklets Diamond Dust. KaiserCraft Large Scallop Dollie added a little Glistening Snow-Tex. Nestabilites – Large Scalloped Circles, Flowersoft with Dazzling Diamond Mixture – Snowman PomPon, and Snow, Galmour Dust Glitter around the images, Marshmallows – Liquid Applique, Snowflake left corner – Create A Flake 3 and Martha Stewart Icelandic Punch. This is my first time using Cheesecloth very cool. I am going to use it again. Trying to get out of my comfort zone. Thanks for stopping by.

 

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

    I love that cards that have a great combo of adoralbness (is that even a word), and beauty! Great coloring, and loving all the sparkle you added. So cute the way that penguins is serving the bear some hot coco..such a great image displaying love and friendship. Sure made me smile. I just ordered some cheese cloth and can't wait to use it..specially after seeing what it has done to your card. Thank you for joining us over at Whimisical Wednesdays!

    Kim hunny, this is SO adorable - but I sadly say from Sentimental Sundays that there isn't a Sentiment on it :( So I will just say "Let's Play!" How's that??? Truthfully, your card is stellar. The work put into it is very obvious, the coloring, sparkles and flowers are gorgeous. I wish you the best of success in the challenges. Love and a Hug, Samara - DT Sentimental Sundays.
