CAS[E] this Sketch #350


Hello my friends!  We have another fabulous Sketch from Donna... another with endless possibilities, too!  Here's where CTS#350 took me...


LOOK I even remembered the sentiment this week!!  LOL!  It features this lovely Season's Greetings set from Pinkfresh Studios - the coordinating die set not only precision cuts the wreath, it has this loveliest of bows!  I did a bit of fussy cutting around the sentiment - this set does not include a die for the sentiment, but they often do.  All elements were very simply water colored.

My card base was another embossed piece I created at Lisa's... just that wee bit of texture can add so much to a CAS card... thank you Lisa - is it another Lifestyle Crafts?  I also used the largest of the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle to trim it to this size.

I'm happy to be close to the finish-line with my Christmas creations.  However, I've done a bit of shopping lately - who can resist? - so be prepared for more sharing!

Speaking of sharing... let's go see that DT gallery - my teamies always share their best creations there!

Inspired By #101 ... Christmas Hoops

 
I really don't think you'll have any doubt that I have been Inspired By everything about IB#101!!  Ready?  set.  GO!
 

My EBE Holiday Characters, and dies were the perfect choice for decorating my hoops, I think.  I heat embossed them using puffy embossing powder!  I made my own embroidery hoops with two circle dies, in varied sizes - 
easy peasy! 
 
I used my SU Subtle Texture EF again - this time I did the entire card, - a little extra something for a Christmas card!  You may, or may not see the subtle stamping of snowflakes on my card base.  If you look closely at the IB photo you'll see the snow there, too!  My 'ribbon' is washi tape - which I just don't use enough to use it up in my lifetime!
 
 
Poor Rudolph … those jingle bells may have made
him a bit cockeyed!  
 
Okay... we're ready for you to jump through the Christmas Hoops!  We can't wait to see you
in the IB101 Gallery!!
