Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Post - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Good evening everyone and welcome to my inspiration post for this week for Whimsy Stamps (another one running a bit late, so huge apologies to everyone again! I will be organised a bit more very soon.)

I used the Christmas Mix Sentiments on this card with the Christmas Tidings Papers and kept it really flat so that I have a few Christmas cards that I can send out through the post which don't cost me a fortune in postage!

This card is also for

Happy Saturday Everyone! I just love Saturdays, don't you?! I get to have a lie in (although it's only usually for about an extra 30 minutes, but still...), I don't have to rush around getting ready for work and I get to have lots of fun crafting the day away!

Sketch Saturday Week #276

It's time again for another Sketch Saturday challenge, but before I get onto it, I just wanted to say a quick thank you and goodbye to Susie who has been running the Sketch Saturday challenge blog for a while now. She has decided to venture on a new career path so is stepping down from her role as challenge coordinator to concentrate on her studies. I would like to wish Susie all the best and for inviting me to join such a fabulous design team.

But not to worry the challenge blog will still be running with Debra taking over Susie's role and this week's challenge #275 is hosted by Debs herself.

The sponsor this week is Mabelle Ramirez-Ortiz from

Whimsy & Stars Studios

 

Mabelle has generously offered 4 digis as this week's prize. 

Here's Debra's sketch for Challenge #275:

And here's my card using the new Halloween Girl. Isn't she just a cutie?! I do have a confession to make though. I was colouring away as you do the other night and my C5 copic marker finally gave in on me. Her hat just looked really streaky and wouldn't blend at all, so to fix it I covered it with Black Diamond Stickles and now you can't see the boo boo hehe! 

Recipe:

Stamps: Halloween Girl from Whimsy and Stars Studio, Vampire Luka from La-La Land Crafts (for the sentiment)

Papers: Perfect Plum, Basic Black, Old Olive, Whisper White, Cast-A-Spell DSP (Retired) all from Stampin' Up, Copic X-Press It Blending Card 

Inks: Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie all form Stampin' Up, Copic Markers

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon from Stampin' Up, Baker's Twine from The Ribbon Reel, Buttons from The Works, Die-Namics Grass Die from MFT, Black Diamond Stickles

And that's all from me for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you can join in the challenge this week.
