Whimsical holiday card - DDSC8



This card is quite simple for me - no patterned paper *GASPS*!! I'm very inspired by Sandra V's simple but whimsical style, and I was channeling her thru this creation.

This card is also for Whimsical Wednesdays'
The Diedrich Dare. The sketch was drawn by a 9-yr-old...I see a future stamper :)! There was also a fun quiz linked on the blog. If you don't know me personally, I LOVE filling out surveys but it was a bit challengeing. Look for it at the end of this blog, he he!

So you're probably asking, hmmm, this is a Holiday card?? There's no snow, no Santa Claus. See, I live in California so we never have white Christmases (although I just came from Lake Tahoe and the white scene was sooo beautiful!). Plus, I enjoy using non-traditional colors for Xmas cards.

The CS is Bazzill. The clear sticker is from Hambly. The tags are from Martha Stewart. The brads & trees sticker (don't they look like Christmas tree lights?) are from American Crafts. The ribbons are from KI Memories. The flower stickers are from Prima & remind me of colorful snowflakes. Other supplies - Copics, Gina K CS, Alice in Wonderland Anya, twine.

ARRRRgggHHHHH!!!



..that's my pirate impression! :)

Hi everyone! Today's card is meeting three challenges! I had a wonderful time doing this and it was easier than I thought!!

The first is for the FFF's Punch Drunk challenge at TGF. We are to use two different punches. I used a border punch from Martha Stewart-- it is white & to the right of the paper with the whale. The second is the scalloped punch behind pirate Anya!

The second is for the Diedrich Dare # 6. The goal was to use a pirate treasure map for inspiration! I saw Randi's takes on the dares and I LOVE all of them. She is such a genius and so very unique!

The card is also for the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge # 88. What a cute sketch, huh!

Supplies-
CS: Bazzill, American Crafts
PP: Sassafras
Mini Coasters: S.E.I.
Punches: Martha Stewart Border, EK Success' scalloped circle
Stamp: The Greeting Farm
Markers: Copics
Sentiment: Handwritten.

Have a fabulous Sunday, folks!!
