Tilda in her Christmas Coat for Sweet Stop Sketches Saturday…
A Winter coat would feel real good here in Iowa today! brrrr The wind makes it seem colder than it is! The cold means Christmas is coming! I’ve colored Tilda with her Christmas coat, with Copic Sketch Markers. I used a Merry Christmas sentiment and Nestabilities dies to cut the ovals. The pattern paper is NOEL from Making Memories 8×8 pack, the paper ribbon on the bottom is from Anna Griffin and the buttons and the ribbon are from “the collection”. Lots of fond childhood Winter memories… so this is rather nostalgic!
My Tilda card is for the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge Post today…Hope you can take the challenge!
The Sketch…

I also made this with five other challenges in mind… ABC Challenge with a theme of Holiday…Color Throwdown Challenge blog wanted to use the colors, soft suede, kraft and cherry cobbler…Case Study Challenge blog, case Heather’s card…Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog with a theme of anything goes…Totally Gorjuss Challenge blog with a theme of traditional colors.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay warm and happy stamping to you!

Penelope and Juniper… a heart-melting duo!
Oh, I wish you could run right over to see this in person! The red is so much “pinker” richer IRL! Always a challenge to capture these creations, isn’t it?!!! Over at CCEE Stampers Challenge Blog they want to see a Winter Scene… well, I could hear that calling my name out loud and clear! lol Using the October Afternoon paper with the houses and trees… aaaaahhhh, I had to cover up the cutest teeny snowman, maybe he’s showing in one of my previous cards where I used this paper… I’ll have to find and link back…get back on track! Anyway, I thought this CC Designs tree picked up the trees from the paper perfectly… it’s HERE. I inked it up trying not to get the moon.. I wiped off the ink b/4 I stamped. Here’s another card that I made with the tree…it’s one of my all time fave Winter creations… it’s HERE. Penelope and Juniper are from the Sweet November artist Amy Young by CC Designs… they’re HERE. Over at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog they want us to us say, “let it snow”!!! I say, let it snow, on paper only! hahahahaha Over at A Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge Blog they want to see snow and or snowflakes… got it covered! This “let it SNOW” sentiment is from Amy R’s new set, Merry and Bright by DD Designs…it’s HERE.

I stamped the tree with Memento Rich Cocoa ink HERE… shaded a little on the left side with copic sketch markers, HERE, E43 & 44…then I colored all around the tree with seven different colors to get it to match the paper!!!! EEK! I started with BG10 and cannot remember what came next!!! I remember E50 and BG0000 but it seems like I added some other green and blue too! sorry about that! I know, I’ll be mad at myself when I want to do it again too! I am too free-spirited when I color! lol Juniper is easy… E40’s… chirp, chirp! Penelope’s hair is the E30’s…jacket BG72, 75, 79…face/legs E000, 00, 01, 21…cheeks R30 & R11…boots cool grays…the word snow BG93, 96, 99. Polar White Flower soft on her muff and head band, it’s HERE.
