Berry Christmas Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Another week and it is Stamping 411 sketch challenge time again! This one was a little more challenging than normal! I hope I did the sketch justice.

I started with a base of Real Red card stock and added a layer of Soft Suede. On top of that is a piece of Christmas Cocoa Designer Paper. I added two strips of Real Red Gingham Ribbon, one to hide the seam and one for decoration above it. I used the Hostess Level 2 Christmas Punch stamp, colored it up with Soft Suede and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers and used the Wide Oval Punch to punch it out.

I stamped two Poinsettias from Stampin' Up!'s Berry Christmas with Real Red, the centers with Soft Suede and the leaves with Soft Suede. I added some Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds in the centers, too. As a final touch, I added the little bird from Merry Details out of Real Red card stock.

I like how it turned out! Check out the rest of the Stamping 411 Operators this week to see what they did! I'm anxious to see, too! Hope you play along and link to Mr. Linky over on Stamping 411.

Good morning! Today's Bloggers' Challenge was to pick a technique to do. I just had my Technique Class last week, so I chose one of those cards to feature! I showed everyone how to do the Mosaic technique I learned from Technique Junkies.

I chose my colors from the stripe in Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper. I used Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede cardstock to complement it.

The base card is Bermuda Bay, then I laid down a 2" strip of Sticky Page and added my mosaic pieces. The grout lines were filled with Gold Embossing Powder.

The focal point I stamped the wreath in Soft Suede and the berries in Melon Mambo. The bow was added with the Melon Mambo marker. This piece was layered on Soft Suede and then Melon Mambo cardstock. I cut the little bird from Merry Details Sizzlet Die in my Big Shot!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Should be a good football game on tomorrow with Ohio State playing Penn State! Go Bucks!
