Stampin' In Alaska

  Beccy has created an adorable holiday set for anyone sending Sandy Christmas wishes!  Whether you live in a warm climate (or like me) wish that you did!  The new Sandy Christmas digital contains three adorable sandy snowmen and five coordinating sentiments. My first project is a set a gift tags and came together so quickly by using the pre-colored images included in the set.  I love the soft color combination that Beccy used for the sweet sandy snowmen.  I knew right away they would be perfect for gift tags! The second card features Steve and was colored with Copic markers.  Hero Arts sand embossing powder was applied to the snowman and beach.  The image was layered simply onto papers from Echo Park Paradise Beach paper pad. A shaker card design features Shazza (I love how Beccy gives all of her characters a fun name!) and was colored with Copic markers.  Die cut palm tree and sun fill out this sunny holiday beach scene.  Be sure to stop by...

  Beccy's Place Challenge began today and is always Anything Goes with an optional twist.  Beccy only requires that you use one of her images whether clear or digital.  If you are new to Beccy's images you can check out a list of adorable freebies on her blog. My card began with Beccy's adorable Pumpkins & Sunflowers digital image.  I used the optional color prompt to create a non-traditional Fall card.  The image was colored with alcohol markers and die cut.  It has been layered onto a stencil foiled panel.  A gingham ribbons completes the card.
