This time we are working with a sketch that Melissa has given to us.
Here is my 1st card. I am pretty happy with the result.
Behind the scalloped circle with the sentiment -from the Friends are Forever set, I stamped one of Nina's Heirloom ornaments, onto a nestie oval. The edges were all sponged with Antique Linen distress ink. The card base and the rose were made with Gina K's PL Innocent pink cs, and the bow is ivory grosgrain ribbon.
My next card is one I just whipped up and I think it turned out great. What do you think?
For this one I started with a mug image from Melanie's "Mugs and Kisses" stamp set, and then added a little penguin from Rupa's "Winter Friends" set, from last year. After coloring the mug with Copic markers, I added glitter to the inside of the mug, for this little guy to skate on, and attached to an oval Nestie. I sponged the Nestie and heat embossed some snowflakes too!
My background is a CB embossing folder called "Snowflakes". I had the plastic snowflake embellies in my stash, but I glittered them up, although difficult to see in the photo.

Now I am sure that KAY has something fabulous to show you. Enjoy!

Great cards. First one has a touch of elegance and the second is adoreable. Can't go wrong with penguins.
