Blue Sky Swirls

The card that I made today is based on the sketch challenge at MFT.  Here is the sketch.
The sketch has three triangles on the top and I decided to use my new stamp, and matching dies, along with a Die for Swirls.  It is a simple design and a pretty quick card.

































The recipe:
GKD heavy and layering Ivory card stock
Light blue shimmering paper from my stash
Big Splash Border die from Memory Box
Stitched Rectangle Die from Lil Inker
Santa's Elves stamp and die from MFT  My New Stamp and Die set
The Splash was cut from a piece of paper that I had water colored and was in my scrap box.
Copic markers

I will be enter in this card in these challenges today.

  1. Love the blues, makes it seem a bit frosty! That elf is just the cutest and I like how you did the top portion with a die cut--clever! The swirls and sequins add a snowy mix to your perfect card! (and I did this Sketch yesterday too--Follow The Leader!) lol

  6. Wow! In the world of adorable cards, this one takes the cake! I couldn't help but smile at this endearing little elf and you brought him to life so perfectly with your coloring skills. Love the blue color palette, which is a refreshing change from the traditional holiday colors. I love how you used the swirls in the background and the bits of bling are just perfect!
