CPS #94 and 2 Sketches 4 You cards

I am having way too much fun creating Christmas or Winter themed cards!!! I stayed with that theme this week for both my Card Positioning Systems card and Kazan's Sketch #15 at 2 Sketches 4 You card. I have said this before, but I just love the jumping off place that sketches give for creating. Sometimes it is fun to just get a bit of inspiration for your creations from a sketch, sometimes it is fun to follow the sketch very closely. I love the little wave look at the bottom of the sketch so I took that literal and handcut a couple wave shaped pieces from plain white cardstock. The fun thing here was that I then painted them with this Glitter Dimensional Paint. You get a great amount of sparkle and it is easy to apply.

I hope you can see it here - look very closely. Do you see the "dimension" of the rub-on bird piece? It is just so cool. These rub-ons are "thick" or "dimensional". They really make a stunning addition to a card. I found this set at Michaels in the Christmas supplies.

For this card, I combined a couple things, my I Am A Scrapaholic kit for December and the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. I also got in my brand new Distress Stickles by Ranger!!! OHHHHH what a wonderful color - Broken China.

The snowflake piece is a Glimmer chip by Tattered Angels. It comes with a soft silver look but I also sprayed it with Silver Glimmer Mist for some additional sparkle and accents from my new Stickles.
