March 2012 Viva La Verve - Week 4

Hi folks,

well, I did spend a few more hours in the craft room this afternoon and did my cards for the Week 4 Sketch for the March Viva La Verve Challenge.

The last sketch for the month is a CAS sketch:

And since I had not yet made my ten Christmas cards for March, I made Christmas cards! I made them all look a little different by switching up the papers, stamps, die cuts and orientation.

And three where I flipped the sketch to landscape:

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, kraft cardstock base
• patterned papers: October Afternoon "Very Merry"
• stamps: Verve "Winter Mittens", "Ornamental Christmas", "O Christmas Tree", with a few colour highlights with Copic Markers (YG25, R35, R37) and paper piecing.
• Spellbinders: Labels Seventeen, Labels Eighteen, Labels Four

additional challenges for these cards:

• Sparkle's Weekly Christmas Card Challenges #17: I didn't follow this week's colour combo of purple, pink, green and white (close on a couple of them though!) but as long as you make a Christnas card you are good to enter!
