This is a card I made for a Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge this week.   I hadn't started out to make a Christmas card, but that's how it ended up.

I just love the little Robin Red Breast.  I made him by inking one of the birds from the Aviary stamp set using markers.  So cute!

Supplies used:
Stamp Set: Baroque Motifs, Aviary & Small Script (R)
Cardstock: Very Vanilla
Ink: Old Olive & Early Espresso classic ink pads, Early Espresso & Real Red markers
DSP: Early Espresson from the DSP Neutral Stack
Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade & Victoria Crochet Trim
Large & small oval punches. 
I traced a plant pot for the circle and hand cut it.

Hope you have a crafty day.

Cheers
Karen

Stepping it up.

One of the fun things about crafting with a group is that you get to see everyone's take on the project.   As the class "teacher" I always find this exciting because it makes me look at products and ideas in different ways.   Sometimes I get a little blinkered with my craft and I like the fact that I learn something new in my own classes as well!

That said, here's Susie's stepped up version of a card we made at Convention as a make n take.  

Susie has a great eye for colour and detail and she loves sparkle!  Check out her blog here.
