PPC #34 & Truly Scrumptious #42


Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends!  Here in Alberta the weather has been absolutely perfect - warm, sunny with a bit of a breeze to make the leaves rustle and fall on the ground.  This week's Picture Perfect Creations color combo can be interpreted and used for many different occasions:


When I saw the Artichoke, I knew I wanted to try the technique I used a couple of weeks ago with the double-sided tape sheets and glitter over the stamped image.  I dug out a retired Stampin' Up set, Sleigh Bells Ring, and set off to find a sketch that would accommodate the image.  When I saw the sketch from Truly Scrumptious I knew it was the one:


Not only was the sketch perfect, but the additional challenge was to use a snowflake on your card - perfect for a winter wonderland image.  You can't tell from this picture but the ribbon is tied together keeping the two halves together:


Recipe - Stamps: Sleigh Bells Ring, Christmas Greetings (SU!)  Paper: Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, SU! DSP  Ink: Olympia Green Versafine, Rich Razzleberry  Accessories: Paper piercer, Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon, snowflake brad, Be Creative double-sided adhesive sheets, Glitter Ritz transparent Warm Highlights glitter

I hope you will take sometime to play with us over at Picture Perfect Creations - we always love to see what you create for us.  If you have some time, stop and check out the rest of the PPC Creators' blogs to see what they created with these colors.
