Hello Sweater Weather!

Hi!  I am playing along with the newest Inky Paws Challenge today! I loved the inspiration photo and based my patterned paper choice on the peppermints.  :)  I also added a little sparkle!  Here is what I made:

Did I surprise you by not making a holiday card?  Hee Hee!  I almost did but I when I pulled out my newest Newton's Nook Designs stamps, the sweater weather sentiment from the Holiday Hounds set really caught my eye!  I had this idea and pulled out the Basket of Wishes stamp set to create the card.

The image has been watercolored- I chose colors that I thought complimented the patterned papers I had already pulled out (Mon Ami by Basic Gray).  I stamped the sweater weather sentiment and then decided to add the hello from the Winged Wishes set.  I tried to make it look like it was written with a bit of yarn- did you get that?

I chose a bit of warm gold glitter paper as my sparkle- it's the perfect compliment to this fun image, isn't it?  Seeing all that yarn is making me want to crochet something!  Maybe I'll pull out my yarn later too!

Don't forget to pop over to the Newton's Nook Designs Blog to see what everyone created for the challenge!  I hope you'll get a chance to play along as well!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release- Holiday Hounds

Hello!  I have another card for Newton's Nook Designs holiday release to share with you today!  Holiday Hounds is the set we are featuring today and boy is it cute!!  It's full of the most adorable dachshund doggies and silly sentiments to match.  I love it!  Here is what I made:

I stamped the doxie on to white cardstock and colored it using my Primacolor color pencils.  I am really having fun with them this week!  I fussy cut around him and added him to the tag.  I stamped a few light snowflakes around him and the sentiment below so that it looked like he was jumping over it.  I added the tag to the card base, adding a brad and some twine for embellishment.  The papers, tag, and brad are all by Teresa Collins Designs.
