Golden Peace on Earth Card

Good morning!  I have a pretty card to share with you today done in white and gold:

I've combined some pretty stamps from Newton's Nook Designs with patterned paper from Teresa Collins.  I stamped the snowflakes from the Beautiful Blizzard set with gold Delacata ink- everything is so sparkly in real life!

The sentiment is from the Holiday Wishes set.  I stamped it onto the raised white panel with Versafine ink.  I embellished with more gold- sequins and thread- and just a pop of turquoise with solid baker's twine from SRM.

This one was so fun to stamp! I love the gold and the sparkle!

Loads of Christmas Wishes

Good morning!  Today I'm playing along with the most recent Inky Paws Challenge from the Newton's Nook Designs blog!  

They have another cute sketch to inspire you- here is my take on it:

I stuck to the sketch, creating a fun Christmas card.  I chose the adorable Wagon of Wishes set and put a Christmas spin on it by coloring the presents in red and green.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils again- I'm still loving them!  I may even invest in the gigantic tin with all the colors!

The sentiment is a combination of two sets- Wagon of Wishes and Holiday Wishes.  I love how easily the go together!

The papers are by Little Yellow Bicycle- I love the rich colors in that stripe!  I kept my embellishments simple, a couple black epoxy dots by Teresa Collins Designs and sticker stitches by SRM Stickers along with some pretty ribbon I had in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Don't forget to pop over to the Newton's Nook Designs blog to see what the rest of the team made and check out the full sketch!

Good Morning!  Today is day three of the holiday release from Newton's Nook Designs!

Holiday Wishes includes lots of fun sentiments that can be put together in different ways.  It also includes little holiday items- like these adorable ornaments hanging from a line.  They work so well together for a customized look.  I added the little birds from Winged Wishes on my card- don't they work perfectly together, too?  So cute!

I stamped my images directly onto the snowflake patterned paper and colored them with my Prismacolor pencils- Hee!  Can you tell I absolutely love them?
