I had a fun Veteran's Day weekend stamping a few cards for mini-VSN between Friday and Sunday performances with the Orange Park Chorale! What a privilege it has been to sing with such a talented group! I am learning so much, and have met some amazing new friends!
The first VSN card I'm sharing today is for Lisa's challenge, Warm and Cozy and All Bundled Up! We were to make a card or project with an image of a something you'd bundle up with....scarf, hats, mittens, sweater, blanket, etc.....AND to make it warm and cozy by incorporating felt into the project. I chose this sweet snowgal who is holding a fuzzy warm muff. (I had a one just like it but mine was white!) This is the first time this darling OCL single has seen ink!
The card's warm colors were inspired by some old DCWV "flannel plaid" designer paper which I (machine) blanket-stitched to some textured Bazill card stock. The sentiment was stamped in white craft ink on kraft card stock which was "warmed" with some tea-dye distress ink. I added a few strokes of black multiliner to add contrast and definition to the letters.
It was kinda fun to pull out and love some old stuff that has been sitting sadly neglected for a while!

My second card is for Kelly's challenge, to create a card representing a favorite holiday song. I must admit that it would be virtually impossible for me to choose a single favorite! I absolutely LOVE to sing, especially during the Christmas season, and this cute caroler captures the joy that music brings!
Kelly requested that we use at least two layers and two embellishments. The caroler was stamped on a scrap of Copic blending paper and again on Basic Grey designer paper. I cut around the image and glued it directly to the designer paper, adding sparkly fluff to the hat, scarf, and pant cuffs for dimension, texture, and sparkle! After stitching around the edges and attaching the sentiment with twine, that layer was adhered to the card base with dimensional adhesive dots.Notes:
