                        White and Red Glimmer paper.

Ink:                  Real Red (inside) and Early Espresso Marker

Have a great day!

OCCC Christmas Tree Challenge

Morning All,
Before I set off on my crazy day I wanted to post this challenge card for the challenge at Our Creative Corner. There challenge was to design a card with a Christmas or pine tree. I love the look of "the" Christmas tree before you cut it down to bring home. So I recreated that. I stamped the pine tree from Christmas Lodge after coloring the stamp in Always Artichoke and Early Espresso, than I got out my Versamarker and adhered white embossing power for snow (I am loving that look!!). Layered on a piece of Frostwood Lodge DP which is on a white base. I adhered the Mini Jingle Bells with Linen Thread. I have found the trick with them is to unravel the thread so it is slightly thinner to go through the tiny holes. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks Karin

PPA119 Fashion Inspired Challenge

Hi All,
I wanted to upload a card I made for the Pal Paper Arts Challenge. They have this great holiday pic:



and the challenge was to be inspired by the pictures textures, colors,and theme. So I really loved the texture of the trees and the glamor you can see during the season. However, my take was on the glamor you can see from your window during the holiday season, where the trees themselves are decked out. I just love the Lovely as a Tree set with the Dazzling Details used for the snow! Putting the image on glossy paper kept it very crisp and allowed me to shade the sky with Baja Breeze.

Thanks for such a great challenge!
