ICSketches #97 - and more Christmas cards

This week over at ICS the designers were sponsored with images from DZ Doodles.

I am particularly pleased with finally putting my MM Slice to work here - 

I cut 2 triangular photo corners and 2 scalloped squares - 

nothing mind boggling at all - but it sure feels good to use a tool

 that I had allowed to be a white elephant for nearly a year !  

I have been cutting words and frames since creating this card . ;) 

This is the also the first card actually

 where I went to town with the Marvy Liquid Applique . lol.

This card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's Holiday Thinking Inking Class -

using Perfect Pearls on a background.

Love how easy this background was created. 

Smoosh Broken China heavily on a piece of white cardstock,

then pounce 3 colors of Perfect Pearls with a brush on the wet ink -

I used Gold, Pink & Blue powders.

Really easy & fun ! 

Other supplies : 

Such Sweet Tierney's snowflake chipboard button,

CC's Mitten Weather pps, 

EK Success border punch, 

Prima bling center, 

MM Glittered foam cardinal.

And another Echo Park Papers Everybody Loves Christmas card . ;)
