WELCOME!

I sort of challenged myself today with this card.  I wanted the Beautiful Baubles to fit inside my 2-1/8” circle and if you have seen the stamp set, you know that just by stamping the stamp that will not be possible—so—I stamped and reduced the size about 3 times before I got the size I wanted for the circle, but it made the baubles almost too small to color— that in itself was a challenge — getting the tiny  ones colored.  I managed.  Not as neat as I would like but done.

My design today comes from the TGIF Challenge #177 Sketch.

The card base is Whisper White. Next is a Garden Green mat that has been popped on but that was the last step, popping the Garden green mat on.  Everything was built on the mat and then it was popped on.  There is a red mat from the All is Bright DSP Collection.  The decorative white pieces on the end of the All is Bright DSP is from the Petals and More Thinlits. 

A 1-1/4 inch strip was cut from the Festive Farmhouse DSP.  It was bannerized (that word comes from Mary Deatherage) on both ends and adhered to the All is Bright DSP mat and extending beyond the Petals and More Thinlits.

The mat for the art piece is a 2-5/8” scalloped circle.  The art piece was colored using Watercolor Pencils, sharpened very sharp, so as to color the tiny baubles.  A layer of Wink of Stella was put over each bauble, but it may not show up too great in the pictures.

The inside sentiment is from the Star of Light stamp set. The sentiment is stamped using Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted with a Garden Green mat.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope  you found encouragement, inspiration for your creations and an overall great feeling in your spirit.  Have a blessed day!
