Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge 28 (Holly Jolly Jessica)

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge # 28 at Your next Stamp.

Create a project based on the sketch and/or colour inspiration. If you are working with the colours, use at least 3 of the colours. You can add only additional neutrals.

I played around with the sketch and colours this week (although my green is way off, oops). I coloured up the darling Holly Jolly Jessica and created a simple Christmas card. The paper is Simple Stories Cozy Christmas.

The sentiment on the front and inside of the card are from the Winter Home stamp set.

For our sketch/colour challenge # 27, you have until December 10, 2015 (midnight) to play along. Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog for more inspiration and to link up your own fabulous creation.

One random participant will WIN a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (must be the main focal point) you will receive an additional $5. When you use a YNS image/die, there is also a chance of being selected as a YNS Top Pick. That's right, bragging rights for you! The winner and "Top Pick" are announced on the YNS blog the Sunday following the challenge close.

Have a fabulous and crafty Friday everyone!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Holly Jolly Jessica, Winter Home (Your Next Stamp)
Paper: Simple Stories Cozy Christmas

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps October Preview Day 2: Merry Christ-mouse!

We wish you a Merry Christ-mouse, we wish you a Merry Christ-mouse!

Welcome back to DAY TWO of the October Release previews at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Today we are sharing an adorable set from the artist Thais Narciso called MERRY CHRIST-MOUSE! This cute set features three of the most darling Christmas mice and five fun holiday sentiments.

Have you bought any Christmas presents yet this year? ME....nope haven't started. I try to book a day of holiday shopping near the end of November or if I am really lucky I'll be able to get it all online, wrapped and mailed to me and avoid the crowded stores all together. I do love the holidays and gift giving, just not the holiday shopping.

For my card today I used this darling lil' mouse with his presents. I used a fabulous Simple Stories collections called Cozy Christmas which I adore (as you can see from all of my layers). To add the effect of snow to the card I used DecoArt Snow Writer. I applied it with a paint brush to have more control over placement on my card.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the lovely creations featuring the MERRY CHRIST-MOUSE set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Scurry along and check out the fabulous work by my fellow Krafty Girls and our Guests. Don't forget to leave a bit of love while you hop. We really enjoy reading your comments and by leaving a comment you could win some Krafty $ to spend in the STORE. Winners will be announce after the release party.

Speaking of PARTY, I hope that you will be joining the ONLINE Facebook release party Saturday October 18th at 6:00 EDT. You will find Kimmie, the Krafty Girls and Guest there ready to have fun. Head to the events page for the party.

Have a super Fabulous Friday!
