52CCT November Technique

This week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown, we are challenging you to do an acrylic block background technique. I chose to use the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch for my card. I inked the block in Holiday Red and sprayed it with my stamp cleaner for that speckled effect. Then I just drew a border inside with a black marker.

Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy
B&Ts: Believe
Stamps: To You and Yours
Ink: Holiday Red, Sky, Sweet Leaf
Other: Black Marker

52CCT November Recipe

This week's recipe at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown is 1) One-layer card, 2) a hint of color and 3) ribbon or bling. I chose ribbon. Here is my card... it took me about 5 minutes (and it shows LOL!).

Mini Mojo

I made a tiny card for the sketch at Mojo Monday and the inspiration photo at the Shabby Tea Room. It had a pumpkin spice theme, and we were to use pumpkins and glitter on our projects. I used a latte pun stamp set for my sentiment. I am also entering this into the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge.
