Eh up ducks! This week our inspiration card is again from Pinterest which I'm having trouble getting to appear - sorry! Got it at last!
 Here is my version, which I managed to muck up by getting my scallop-edged layer in the wrong order!  I also made a bit of a mess with my Wink Of Stella glitter brush The red of the card started spreading! And I was far too impatient to take the photo and didn't wait for it to dry. And then the sun caught me unawares and made taking photos awkward... Your challenge today, should you choose to accept it, is to use the sketch in any way you like. This post will self-destruct....  Sketches and TemplatesFor those who like sketches and templates I have a few for you.  There are two sizes: - 2Peas-Cardtober13A - A4 size where the card is halved to make a C6 size base of 4.13 x 5.845-inches
- 2Peas-Cardtober13B - letter size where the card is halved to make an A6 size base of 4.25 x 5.5-inches
In the zip file you will find: - 2Peas-Cardtober13A.psd - Photoshop template size 4.13 x 5.845-inches
- 2Peas-Cardtober13B - Photoshop template size 4.25 x 5.5-inches
- 2Peas-Cardtober13 - SVG for both card sizes suitable for Silhouette Studio
- 2Peas-Cardtober13 - a JPG image of the sketch

Thanks, JaneB. I love your tea mug. And all the slanted layers makes this a happy card. I am nowhere as talented as you, but I think I have some mug icons in one of my Winter tubs. Off to look... |

Here's mine. Replaced the button with a large "gem" (which came attached to the ribbon).  CT 13 warm wishes by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Had to do a little stash diving to find those mug stickers. The good news is that I found the pretty snowflake pp in the same place--and the ribbon. With my memory, every day is both a challenge and a joy. I am always looking for stuff I *remember* having, but never sure if I just wanted to buy it but didn't, bought it and already used it, or put it somewhere for "safe keeping". And I am always finding exciting stuff I had forgotten about completely! Thanks for the challenge, JaneB! |

grammadee love all those blues! Very wintry and warming - and I'm thinking hmm, I should have done two mugs! Do you fidn it difficult sometimes to think past the original? I do - I had mug in my head and couldn't envisage anything else as a centrepiece and yet lots of motifs would work.

I can imagine all kinds of places this card design could go, but when I saw it I really WANTED to find those mug stickers I hadn't seen since stowing away all my winter themed goodies last spring.
Dh just left for coffee with the neighbours, so I might just try the design with something different. Maybe try an all white one... Hmmm... Be back later!

And here it is! I had been digging out all the glitter white pieces to go into my blue/silver/white Christmas card kit, so finding the pieces for this one was easy. I got the idea for lifting out the diecut tree and layering it on top of the negative from Pinterest last year.  CardTober #13 white on white by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

Love that card/sketch JaneB. Can't wait to play with that, I think I have a travel coffee cup die I can use. |

grammadee marvellous work on the second card! Using the tree and its negative space is a great idea - one I might pinch at some future date  That's what I mean; you have used a diecut for the scallop instead. Me? I can't always see past what's already there and use something different. I get a bit linear and stuck in my thinking.

Ooh, lovely! I have some coffee cup stuff that I might use for this design down the road. But for now, here's what I came up with. I inherited some tools, cardstock, and papers from my late MIL and she had kept some pieces from other people's handmade cards to use to make other cards, so I wanted to use some of that. The embossed snowflake with the jewel center was one of those reused bits, and it fit on some doilies I keep from a lunch event I go to (MIL would have approved - she was quite the squirrel), and it matched well with some papers from MIL's stash. Everything was a bit bigger than the original sketch scale so I left off the extra scalloped bit. I punched some snowflakes (using MIL's punches) from the blue snowflake paper which turned out to be iridescent white on the back - shiny! I even got brave enough to add a clear Nuvo drop directly to the center of the little snowflake. I'm determined to use up what MIL collected!

joblackford, that is a beautiful card. It is so wonderful that you are already using some of those pretties your MIL "squirreled" away. Great selection of shapes, colours and patterns. Love that little iridescent snowflake with the Nuvo drop on it.

Great take on the sketch, warrior1991. I love the craft with the teals, and those patterns are perfect for tying them together. |

I love the irridescent touch on your card, joblackford!
warrior1991, your color combo and use of the sietch are perfect. Everything really stands out.

I took some liberties, but I did try to stay relatively close to the sketch.  |

scrapnnana, those flowers are gorgeous. I love that label edge die, too, and the black is very dynamic.

joblackford I like your interpretation of the sketch. I admire your skill in reusing pieces, I'm not brilliant at that. Isn't that red snowflake gorgeous? And Nuvo Drops eh? Joining the club? 
warrior1991 The turquoise/teal (I never know which to call it!) and kraft is a most excellent combination, especially with the textured paper pieces, they're lovely.
scrapnnana ooh those flowers are beautiful. What a soft, ethereal card, with all the flourish touches and blue shades |

Catching up on some of the earlier challenges. I didn't use the sketch, per se, but did borrow elements from the inspiration card for my design. From the inspiration, I used a patterned paper layer, a circle die cut, a scalloped circle die cut, and a mug image.  |
