MSL Punch Challenge

Magnolia Stamp Lovers is having a challenge to use your punches. Oh, I remember when I bought my cricut and I thought I would never need to use punches again. Sad to say, that's not true. LOL I have used this adorable stamp from Magnolia's collection last Christmas called Santa's Little Helper. I think this stamp is so cute! If you don't have one hurry and grab one, Cindy only has 2 left!!!

I have used 2 different Martha Stewart punches on this project. On the side I used the holly leaf border punch and for the strip Tilda is sitting on, I used the snowflake set. The paper I used is Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. I put a poinsettia up in the corner and added a sentiment. Yay!!!! 2 Christmas cards done so far this year!!! Better get a move on to get them all finished. I have used the sketch from Friday Sketchers for the layout of this card.

A Little Gloss

We have a new challenge on Scrappy Frogs and it is to use some kind of glossy or glassy accent on your project. I decided to use a couple of different glosses on my project. I started with this adorable Tilda image Tilda in Spring Rain. I colored Tilda with copic markers and then started adding the gloss.

I added some Sakura crystal lacquer to her umbrella and boots. This product has color in it already, you can see where I also added it to the rain drops falling down. Then I took my liquid glass and added that to the other elements like the fence, the puddle, and her raincoat. Here is a close up of the gloss on the fence, raincoat, and the puddle.

I also added a little gloss to the paper flowers to look like dew. When it was time to put the card together, I needed a sketch, so I went to Friday Sketchers and followed their sketch.
