Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch Challenge #61 ~ Card 2

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have another Christmas card to share with you for the BYSHcardmakers sketch challenge #61

I've used some beautiful DSP paper from Lala Land Crafts Winter Song pack and a fun 3D embossing folder from Altenew, Perfect Poinsettia.  I thought that adding a little inking added to the background and vibe of the paper.  This is a great design for batch card making.

The sketch is below.

Cut it Up Challenge #339 ~ It Looks Like Fall

Hi Crafty Friends,
We are just a few days away from the first day of fall in the USA so it's fitting that our Cut it Up Challenge #339 theme is IT LOOKS LIKE FALL.
Here's my project.

For this card, I used Gina K inks to blend the background then stamped over it with Taylored Expressions Fineline Script background stamp and white ink.  The leaves were cut using Jaded Blossom's Fancy Leaves dies.  I added a cute little tag with a vellum shadow and a JB sentiment.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge.  Just add your card to the link above.
