You Pick

OK, another challenge (SCS sketch challenge), and a new card made just this morning!

Now YOU get to pick - yesterday's card was the whimsical one and today's is classic Christmas. Which do you like better?

HeHe, some of you may be wondering which one I like better! LOL I don't want to tell you which one is my favorite until I hear from you, but you can make a guess about that if you want to!I'll be back tomorrow to tell you,so check back.

Here's what I can tell you about~

• The red panels are textured card stock embossed with the Petals A Plenty folder. I could use this folder on everything, I like it so well!
• The Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper is flocked, so this card is elegantly touchable.
• For the image,I used a window sheet and the Ornament punch to make a stencil, sponging inside with sahara sand ink. Then I stamped over it.
• Notice the wonderful shading effect you can get with the stencil technique.

I guess you can notice that my Pretties Kit is still something I love to use too. (Those of you who have visited me for a long while know how fond I am of the pretties, and look how long they have lasted! ) I like my Pretties Kit so well that it's got it's own category on my sidebar.

Thanks for commenting to tell me what you think - I think you're the best!

OK, I know I posted on the other one, but I have to say this is very pretty too! The red and white are so sharp together- very Christmasy. I'm still voting for the non-traditional as my fave though. Hmmm, I'm wondering which you like the best! Will be back to find out!

[Susan Raihala]

Both. I like lots of different styles, and find plenty that appeals to me in BOTH your pretty cards!

Well, of course I love them both, but my favorite will be yesterday's! It was a hard choice! Hugs, michelle

What a beautiful card Cindy. I love the stencil idea & your colors & layout are just perfect!
The ribbon & pearl add just the right finishing touch.

Love it. It is classic and beautiful.
I like the Melon Mambo card. But it was a narrow margin...
