Wednesday October 10 Already!That means it's time for another Whimsy Challenge.
The theme for this Challenge is all things sparkly.
 
I woke up this a.m and it was just starting to snow, now on the ground it's completely white . The flakes are huge and fluffy. I am so not ready for winter to be here already, I'm sure it will melt and not stay on the ground till spring but. It's a sure sign of whats to come probably sooner than later. This makes coloring and creating a card with a snow man pretty fitting don't you think. On that note lets get back to the matter at hand my card.
 
That is a pretty straight forward challenge. For this challenge I chose to use a super cute image from Whimsy Stamps called Frosty Friends from digital designer Kathryne from StampArt Design. I love this little image it's adorable.For my sparkle I added stardust stickles which are my favorite thing to put on a card any chance I get. I also added some gems, these are from a local store in the make your own jewlery section. They are swarovski crystals and very eye catching. Well like all bling, I'm like a bird I'm drawn towards anything shiny LOL.
Here is my creation.
 
 
 
 
I took a close up picture of this to try to show you the sparkle of the stickles hard to really see it on the picture.
 

Supplies:Whimsy stamps " Frosty Friends", Copic markers, Cricut snowflake cut from accent Essentials cartridge, Spellbinder, Bazill cardstock and Little Yellow Bicyle patterned paper, Stardust Stickles, Distress ink, swarovski crystals.
 
One more thing before you go.

This card is done using the wonderful digital stamp from Whimsy stamps called presents from Lia Stampz. It's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner, seems like I just said that about summer. But lots of people are starting to make Christmas cards already to get their stack complete in time to mail for the holidays. The sentiment that I used is a Whimsy stamp as well.

This is my card that I created for the October Digi Release.
The digital stamp is from Lia Stampz called Little Angel, I loved coloring this image with my copic markers. I made it a bit bigger than I usually do but thats the nice thing about digital is you can alter the size.
This is the style of card that I made, I  glued the inside piece of the card to the main part. The back is 6 x 6 and scored on the left side to make a 6 x 3" flap. Then the piece with the angle image on it is 5 x 5.25" and the inside is the same measurement as the outside. I love the look of this style, it's something a bit different.

Supplies:      Paper - Bazzill and moxxie
Dies and punches: Ek border punch, Fleur de Lis square from Spellbinder, Memory box leaves, martha stewart leaf punch.
Embellishments: Zva crystals, dimensional pearls and distress ink.
