Welcome to the first Ketto Blog Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! Click here to start from the beginning, on Bloggabella, 'cause you won't want to miss any of these adorable Ketto creations!
Em has hidden a $40 gift certificate to Stamping Bella somewhere along the hop so be sure to give each card some lovin' for a chance to win. One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post and the winner will be announced on Bloggabella on Monday! So share the LOOOOOOVE!!!
I decided to use Ivy Ketto but I wanted to do something a little 'out of the box' so I decked her out for the Holidays! Doesn't she look simply adorable as a Christmas Ketto?!? She's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with copics.
I had the fun striped S.E.I. paper in my stash...it's from the Glitzmas line...and it already had the sparkly flourish right on the paper. It reminded me of the ivy branch. The Happy Holidays sentiment is also from Stamping Bella.
I layered a ghost snowflake onto a 10mm Denim Glitter Dot then topped it with a 5mm Platinum Glitter Dot. Three 5mm Poppy Glitter Dots tie in with the berries on the branch. The layout for this card is from one of the sketch challenges on the Stampin' Out Alzheimer's site.
Next you're hopping on to the fabulously talented Candice. She is THE copic queen...I'm just glad I'm before her on the hop and not after!!! LOL! Happy Hopping!
Thanks for stopping by!
