Falling for the Holidays BYSH Cardmakers Linky Party

 

It's here! As hard as it is to believe, October is almost over. That means it is time for our Fall Linky Party over at BYHS Cardmakers.

We have some awesome sponsors for our party. We've had several new sponsors join us, so more chances to win a prize.

Speaking of prizes, I won 3 wonderful stamps sets from Colorado Craft Company at our last linky party. (Sorry for the glare.) Colorado Craft Company is a returning sponsor for our October linky party.

 

My first inspiration project was made using one of the stamps I won.

I stamped my image onto some Distress Watercolor cardstock with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. I colored my image using my Zig Real Brush markers and a water brush.  I used a scalloped mini slimline die from Kat Scrappiness to cut down my image panel. I just ran my panel through twice as the die was too long. Kat Scrappiness is a new sponsor for our linky party. I mounted my image panel on some blue cardstock.

For my card base I started with some heavyweight white cardstock that I cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut a blue mat at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8". My pattern paper is from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas 6" X 6" paper pad that is cut down to 4" X 5 1/4".  I adhered the pattern paper to the blue mat with liquid adhesive. I adhered those to my card base also with liquid adhesive. I added my matted image panel to my card base using some foam tape. Lawn Fawn is also back as a sponsor for our linky party. To finish the card, I added some tiny snowflake sprinkles also from Kat Scrappiness.

Thanks for stopping by today. I would love to hear from you letting me know what you think about my project so feel free to leave a comment and follow my blog. I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog and link up a project of two. It's fun to play along and who knows you might win a prize.
