It is Thursday and that means it is time for a new challenge at the Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog.  This week's theme challenge is Anything Goes.  Our sponsor is Twinkle Lane Designs and if you enter you have the chance to win 2 digi images from the shop.  

I used digi stamp Hot Chocolate Girl to create my card.

Anything Goes Card Recipe

I found this image on the Twinkle Lane store and just fell in love with it.  I love winter and warm winter clothes and coffee.  I grabbed my Copics and starting coloring.  I used colors in the BG family and the V family.  Once I finished coloring her, I inked around the white card stock with some Hero Arts ink, and then cut mats.  I sprayed the first mat with oxide ink from Tim Holtz in the color Villainous Potion.  I inked the edge of the next mat with Hero Arts ink.  I printed the sentiment and inked and matted that and placed it on the card.  I used some Ink of Stella on her lips to give them a little sparkle.  I used a silver gel pen to put little stars on the white background for a little more interest.

Here are some affiliate links for products I used for this card.  No cost to you, but I get a small commission if you purchase a product through this link:

Holiday Cards 4 Kids Card Recipe

I used a technique I recently learned at a crop at Lake Barkley in Kentucky.  A friend of mine, Rita, always has the coolest techniques in her classes.  In this technique I used glue from Tonic Studio and covered my rubber stamp in the glue.  I stamped the snowflakes from Hero Arts on the black card stock.  Once the glue was no longer white, I sprinkled Tonic Silver Gilding Flakes and used a sponge in a circular motion to 'rub' in the flakes.  I die cut the be jolly sentiment from Stamploration in a glittery red card stock.  I cut out multiple layers of the sentiment to give it some dimension.  I added some bling with clear rhinestones and that is my card.

 Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Consider entering our challenge and donating your hand made cards to our great charity.
