To Honor Our Veterans this Holiday, CCCC61

To honor our Veterans this Holiday. A tribute to all who have served our country.

Dedicating this card for my dear Uncle Sal & my terrific Father who has proudly served WWII. Unfortunately, my Uncle has suffered two strokes this year and I hope this brings him some courage with his recovery. Additionally, I really hope Dad can see this card from heaven.

My original creation for Stacy Schafer's Stamping Stage Curtain Call Color Challenge Act #61. The sentiment & dove are heat embossed. For the edge sponging I'd used two colors first with Early Espresso and then Bravo Burgundy.

Below, a peek inside along with a stamped envelope.

Stamp Recipe: Courage, Hero Jumbo Wheel, Peaceful Season-Hostess, Just Believe (inside)
Up In The Stars
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso. Bravo Burgundy, Craft White
Paper: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Sponge, embossing powder, Tim Holtz embossing Distressing Ink, Curly Label- extra large punch

Hope you like my creation as much as I do.

Happy Holidays and God Bless America.

Prayers out to my Aunt Rosie & Uncle Sal for a speedy recovery. In just a few days they will be celebrating their Sixty-Two years of marriage ... Amazing. Two of the most gentle people on this earth.

Winter Storm Watch For Santa, CCCC 57

My creation for Stacey Schafer's Stamping Stage Curtain Color Call Challenge Act 57. To be honest I was a little intimidated by this color combo but once I got rolling with the sponging you just never know what will appear. I had a Holiday/Winter/Vintage theme in mind and was anxious to use my favorite SU stamp set Lovely as a Tree. I started out first by masking the moon along with shading with Temping Turquoise around the circle post it note as your mask. Sponging all around in a circular motion adding Basic Gray for a dark cloudy, glazed effect. Using a torn posted note to create depth for my hills. The back ground trees were stamped off, than stamped on with Chocolate Chip. Sprinkled a few adhesive pearls through out the sky. My goal was to get a “Brrr” style effect. I'm please with the outcome and I'd would be very thankful to be selected for the "Lead" Curtain Call Challenge (giggle).

Christmas in July, well that's what I think when July 1st comes around. Jumped in and participated in Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #24.

The trees are embossed applying VersaMark first then by inking Rich Razzelberry and Old Olive. My attempt was trying to get a old vintage Christmas Holiday feel.
