It is another StampTV blog hop. This time it is a sketch blog hop. I really like sketch challenges. I do believe that those are my favorites. I do want to apologize up front for the pictures. It was a dreary day and by the time I got home from work tonight the light was about gone, and I just noticed that the first one is also crooked. Oh well, too late!

I used GinaK Pure Luxury Cranberry Tart, Sweet Corn and Ivory. I colored using my Copics and the strips of DP was from Pink Paislee's Old School. My dear Nesties, a Cuttlebug folder, some scraps of ribbon, and some GKD gold brads finished up the card.
This second card uses the new StampTV set, called Wishing you Joy, that arrived at my front door yesterday!! Woo Hoo! So I had to ink a couple of the stamps up and make a quick Christmas card. The DP came in that wonderful box too! Isn't it awesome? The DP is from Echo Park called Season's Greetings. I colored the ornaments with Copics. The ribbon was in my "red ribbon" container and I had some gold that I scavenged from a gift once upon a time. It really was a quick and easy card.

Both of your cards are just beautiful. Love the colors of your first card, the brads and embellies in the flowers.
The DP is really perfect with the shape of the die cut.
Even before I read your description, Miesje, I gasped when I saw your first card. It's gorgeous. After the gasp came the emotion....I continue to pray for you and your family, and what a gorgeous card.
Your second card is adorable. I love the bg...perfect for the stamps and the die.

Love the 2 cards .... i don't have any of the stamp sets, YET! But when i can start to collect them, the ribbons will be the first. The lousy color they chose for my disease is orange ... but then i think of fall -- and now all the beautiful things i can do with this color!
Thanks for the inspirations! (saying prayers for your family too)

Both cards are lovely!
You make such beautiful cards......this one is exceptional.
Great ideas for cards! All the best to your husband. It is a tough journey. I am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed just over four years ago with Stage 3C six months after a mammogram. Two years of treatment means I hope to see my grandchildren grow up. I wish that for your husband.
Your first Card is the perfect gift to send or receive. What a great idea. Wish we wouldn't need those cards.
The second one is really lovely.
Thanks for sharing.
Love your card and the colors. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Love the tweaked version and the centering of the focal point. Feels good! Looke great!!
