PCC270 Sketch Challenge, Monochromatic with Lawn Fawn Stitched Ornaments

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  I think after only working 2 days last week that this week will never seem to end!  Oh well, work during the day and craft at night... that's the way I roll!   It's Wednesday so that means another Paper Craft Crew Challenge!  What do you think of this sketch??

I took one look at this and immediately saw Christmas Ornaments!  Of course you know I still have Christmas Cards to make so you knew it would be something to do with Christmas! 

I love this Black and White Christmas Pine Patterned Paper from FSJ so that's where I got my inspiration!  I decided that I wanted to make my ornaments black, white and shades of gray or silver.  These Lawn Fawn Stitched Ornaments Dies were perfect to make use of all of my colors.   I absolutely love how it turned out!  It looks even more beautiful in person!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

PCC229 Sketch Challenge - Lucky Dog!

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Hope you've been having a super week so far!  I'm back over with the Paper Craft Crew today with my take on a new fun sketch!

I decided to pull out an adorable little set from Unity Stamp Co. called "lucky dog".  

I decided to keep this one super simple.  This adorable little dog didn't need a thing but stamping in Black on White Cardstock.  How simple is that??  I used Hero Arts Black ink and stamped him on Neenah Crest Solar White 110# cardstock.   I used some Stampin' Up layering circle framelits to cut out the circle as well as the scallop circle in Basic Black.   Although I loved the sentiments in the set, I wanted a more narrow sentiment because it needed to fit on the thin banner.  I pulled out a sentiment from a retired Our Craft Lounge stamp set called "Pat the Dog" and stamped in Hero Arts Black Ink onto a small strip of Neenah Crest Solar White Cardstock..   My background was Basic Gray Cardstock that was embossed with a Darice Embossing Folder called Paw Prints.  I added some splashes of Fun Stamper's Journey Silver Silk but to tell you the truth you can hardly see it on the gray cardstock.   I After layering the circles on the embossed gray background, I added the banner with a thin piece of foam tape, I  finished it off by adding the little red heart that I had punched two tiny holes in so I could run some hemp thread through it to tie in the front.  That's it for this one!  It was super simple but as a dog lover, I love it!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
