Baby You're A Firework Card

Ok, here is the last of my 4th of July, Firework, Patriotic, etc. projects for the year. I was not really sure where I was going with this card, then I started getting one idea after the next. The zigzag circle was cut from Cricut Art Philosophy at 3". I braided red, white and blue embroidery floss and looped it around my card and made a starburst in the same colors and tie it together on my braid. I used stickers and CTMH stamps to create my sentiment. The stamped image is from Close To My Heart and I colored it with Copic Markers and added some glitter gel pen to make it sparkle.

My card is based on this sketch:

Christmas Theme & More Challenge

Hello my Crafty blog buddies,
Today I have a card that I made for multiple challenges. There are several things I needed to incorporate to cover everyone's challenge. Here are the things I was required to incorporate between all the challenges: Christmas theme, PKS faces, fabric, follow a sketch, snowflakes, sparkle, use a Dilly Beans Digi stamp, add a bow or ribbon, use red embroidery floss and use the colors lime, pink and teal. OMG, I must tell you this was a challenge for sure to me to create a card that incorporated everyones requirements and still looked pretty, flowed well and kept with my style. I used my Copic markers to color the snow family, Cricut Art Philosophy for the 2" snowflakes, a punch for the tiny snowflakes,  The challenges I will enter are listed at the end. But without further a do here is the card I created and LOVE.

Here is a view to see where I added Liquid Applique to create some 3d snow.

I used some left over felt fabric for the snow on the ground.

Here are my Peachy Keen Faces stamps. They are stamped in an aqua blue and I sprayed on the snowflakes with some shimmer mist. (This ended up making them harder to see, but they are still adorable). Here is also my bow and ribbon.

I added some Stickles glitter glue on the hats and scarves for some addition sparkle and love it.  

You can see more of my sparkle here on the heart, buttons and scarves. Here is were I incorporated the red embroidery floss I strung through the button on the snowman. 

I actually made some doodles on the blue hat with my Glitter get pen for a different type of sparkle.
