OWH Sketch #141, ODBD, and the Bonus...

Two awesome sketches this week (yay)..after a wonderful blog hop.  I have not made it all the way through as I am taking my time.  For those of you have asked, the Diamond shaped punch I used in my poinsettia card was made by Emagination Crafts Inc; I was lucky to have found it at a fall scrapbooking secondhand sale.


I am so proud of myself on this first card...I used my embossing machine and 4 stamps. When I was adding the smaller circle to the base I forgot that the two circles overlapped each other...not that it is a big deal that I didn't...I guess I was in a zone. I also second generation stamped some of the circles for a little added contrast...have not done that like in forever! I am also linking this card up to the October ODBD challenge: Circles.




 

I absolutely adore this image by Elizabeth O. Dulemba at Coloring Page Tuesdays which can be found here.  After I colored him, I fussy cut (what was I thinking?) and put him on some fun paper.  Memories of the excitement of watching holiday tv programs were triggered by this one.  Remember when you had to wait a whole year to see a classic rather than being able to pop it in anytime for your viewing pleasure?

  2. Linda, these are two very nice cards. I liove the embossing on your first card and the sentiment stamp is great. Nice paper also. Your second card is precious. That image is just darling and definitely has the AWWW factor. Fabulous job on your cutting. Love those turquoise gems. Enjoy your week.

  3. *Smacks forehead* I didn't even think that the sketch counted for ODBD's challenge! Great idea, Linda! I think your reindeer turned out fabulously cute, especially with all those brads on the strips.
