Mercy's Tuesday Sketch AND A Serendipity Ornament....

I have been busy lately!!!  I have 2 ornaments AND a card to share with you today!!!  Not that I want you all the think I am an "overachiever" but I have 2 AWESOME (ok, I think they are awesome) cards for tomorrow AND a my card for Saturday's C4C post which is a VERY cool new fold is already done!!!   You know this won't last!!! LOLOL!!!

My card today is based on Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge ~

 

The base of this card is Whisper White and is 5" square.  The next layers are first Tangerine Tango CS and then decorative paper from MME Colorful Christmas Collection.  The stripped strip below the image piece is from the same collection and was punched using my SU! scallop border punch.  Under the striped piece is Whisper White CS and on top is Celery May Arts Silk Ribbon.  The oval below the image is Razzleberry CS and was punched using my oval Nesties.  The darling snowperson image is from Serendipity Stamps and is called Snowperson with wreath and was stamped on Whisper White using Black Momento ink.  I colored using Prismacolor Pencils, Copic Markers and a blender pen & Razzleberry, Baja Breeze and Tangerine Tango ink pads.  I added white flock to the snowpersons scarf, tops of the pockets and gloves.  I added Stickles to the wreath, tiny flower rhinestones to the buttons and tiny round rhinestones to the hat.  I also added clear Martha Glitter at the base of the snowperson.  I used my Quickie glue pen to adhere all the rhinestones as well as the glitter.  On the inside I stamped the sentiment included in the set, "Happy Christmas".

Now, on to the ornaments.  I WISH I could take credit for the idea but I can't because I TOTALLY CASEd these from my Serendipity Stamps teammate, Yvonne.  She made one last month for our DT challenge and it is GORGEOUS!  She is truly an artist!!!  I won't give detailed information on these because Yvonne did a wonderful little tutorial and you can find it HERE!   

I used the same PTI Vintage Cream CS on both ornaments but obviously, used Basic Black on the one and Soft Sky on the other!  LOL!!  The black ribbon is silk and the vanilla ribbon is May Arts Satin with grosgrain edges.  I did not sponge the black ornament but did sponge the other with Ranger Antique Linen ink.  The snowflake stamps used on both are from Serendipity Stamps and can be found HERE!  The little tiny pearls are from Zva and can be found HERE.

Here is a closer look at each ~

 

That's it for now but be sure to stop by tomorrow!  Have a great day!
