SC 94 - Really cool way to make a card.

So I had a great mail day yesterday. I got this most adorable card from Teresa and a little mini card, for Hallowe'en, in the same envelope. The card is what I want to focus on here though. She used the layout from SC94 and it just looked so darling, I was inkspired to make one of my own for my DDSS for round 6. I have been a slacker DDSS, so I am trying to do better. I just find it so hard to use only SU supplies for it. Anyway, I digress . . .

This card uses the "Blue Frost" spectrum pad from SU (which in case you were wondering, does not look all that nice when you accidentally drop it face down on your laptop keyboard.) I also used the SU hostess set "Warmest Regards" which I am currently in love with, and "All Through the Year" which is seriously so versatile. Oh, and cannot forget the "Canvas" background stamp. You will definitely have to take a look at the Sketch Challenge page to see how it opens and stuff. I used two way glue pen and dazzling diamonds on the snowflakes and eyelets in the center because ever since I bought the silent setter from ProvoCraft, I have no reason not too -- it is glorious. I really am happy with how this one turned out and I really hope that my DDSS likes it.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
