From The Heart Stamps Sketch 161

Welcome to a new From The Heart Stamps Sketch with a Twist challenge!  And it is a bit of a different challenge - there are 4 sketches to choose from and the one that took my fancy was number 47 from a few years ago.

I've used Deck The Halls Birdbrain, coloured with Promarkers plus a little glossy accents on the baubles.  I've used a fancy Spellbinders die to cut out the sentiment (from Jingle Bell Birdbrain) and the image.

Papers are from Forever Friends Cosy Christmas 6x6 pad and the ribbon is actually upholstery binding which I 've had lurking in my stash for years - I've doubled it up and added bakers twine to cover the join.  The little bell is from my stash.  I've added glitter glue around the edge of the sentiment and image - it just does not show up too well in the photo!

Good luck with the challenge!

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 132

Time for the last challenge of 2015 over at From The Heart Stamps.  Don't forget that you must use a FTHS in your creation and you can either follow the sketch or the twist or both!

I've used Deck The Halls digi, coloured with Promarkers and added glitter glue around the edges; the sentiment also is part of the set.  Added some glass gems to the side and the card is complete!

And here is the sketch.  

The challenge runs until 4 January so you have two weeks to create and link up!  Good luck!  The stamp of the month challenge is also still open along with the Birthday Hop - pop over to the blog for more details.

From The Heart Stamps - Stamp of the Month - Reminder

We are part way through the month for you to use the progressive Stamp of the Month over at From The Heart Stamps.  If you participate during the month, you'll automatically receive the next months stamp free of charge!

And this month the stamp is a good one - Deck The Halls!  I've printed it directly onto my cardstock and then coloured it with Promarkers.  I've added glossy accents to the eyes and then glitter glue around the edges of the card.

To finish I've added a sparkly red embroidery thread embellishment which is from my stash.  The image comes with 4 different sentiments and all this for only $3.50.  Don't forget to link up your card on the blog by the last day of the month and if you do, you'll receive the next months stamp for free!
