Thanksgiving card

I'm going to make a card inspired by these challenges:

Word Art Wednsday - Ps. 30:11-12
Sweet Sketch Wednesday -

I was in a big hurry to make this card, so it literally took me all of 10 minutes to make. I LOVE how it turned out AND that it glorifies the Lord!

B&Ts: Elemental, Flirty
Cardstock: White, Cranberry, Bamboo
Stamps: Say it In Style, Word art Wednesday digital stamp (not CTMH)

Freshly Made and Color Throwdown

Here is a card I made using Wonderland and the Icing Overlays. I thought the colors were close enough to the Color Throwdown Challenge. I used the sketch from Freshly Made.


Here's the inside:



I interpreted the SU colors to be these CTMH colors: Cocoa, Twilight, Desert Sand, and Heavenly Blue. I would have used Lagoon instead of Twilight, but it's a little too bright, I think.

Materials used:
B&T: Wonderland
Cardstock: Cocoa, Desert Sand, White Daisy
Stamp: Everlasting Life
Ink: Cocoa
Other: Silver Shimmer Trim, Clear Sparkles, Glitter Brads, Icing Overlays, Art Philosophy cricut cartridge

Advent Calendar #2

I used my kit to make a second advent calendar. I used the insides of the frames and stamped the shapes and numbers on with black Staz-On. I cut out the outside of the shapes out of Colonial White cardstock. The colors I used are Ruby, Crystal Blue, Cocoa, New England Ivy, and Olive. I really like it. The colors are much brighter and the white does a good job of setting off the colors. This one is for my sister-in-law.

I made this advent calendar exactly like the instructions call for, only with the changes mentioned above.
