Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow... 8-)

Hi All! And a Very Happy Weekend to you! Well as it's Saturday, you know what that means..lol It means today I am back with another Fabulous Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge! Yay!  For the Month of October, we are doing a bit of a blast from the past.. Sketch wise that is..Pretty Cool, Huh?..8-) Todays Sweet Stop Sketch #128 was originally The Sweet Stop Sketch # 7.. And it's a fun one indeed, and just perfect for my Darling Di's Digi Download image! And since the Holidays are fast approaching, I thought I would make up another Card / Gift Card Holder..  I figure I am going to need a several of these for friends and family and will probably need to pop a few into my Etsy shop as well, so you will very likely be seeing more of them! LOL 8-) So without further delay, here's the Sweet Stop Sketch #128 (SSS #7) for this week:


And here's my take on it! The only tiny tweaking I did this time was that my sentiment took up most of the bottom of the card so I could only add a few little gems instead of a line of them.. 8-)

Well, I printed out My Sweet Loving this White Stuff Bear onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics.  I added a bit of shading with Antique Linen Distress ink and a little Stardust Stickles to the snow, falling and on the ground, though t's a bit hard to see in my photo. I cut him out and matted him up using my Classic Squares Nestie set and then popped him up with a few dimensionals. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination of Kraft CS from my stash embossed with my Sizzix Snowflakes EF, then shaded with my Snow Cap paint dauber and also some Fabulous dp's from MME's Holly Jolly collection and Basic Grey's Wassail Collection too. My I/O Sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a little left over strip of Kraft CS shaded up with a little more with my Snow Cap paint dauber.  To finish it all up, I added some ribbon from my stash, a few sweet adhesive gems, a few Fun snowflakes I made up with my MFT Snowflake Trio Die-namics and a touch of more Stardust Stickles for a bit more Bling..
Here are a couple of pics of the inside with a gift card inside so you can see how it will look..8-)
I hope you can play along with us at The Sweet Stop!  Sure can't wait to see what you all come up with for this weeks sketch.  And as always, please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the Beauties the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies have created for your inspiration and leave them a little Love, even though it's not a requirement, it is Always Greatly Appreciated.... 8-) 

Hope you all have a Spectacular weekend & thanks so much for visiting! 8-)
