Christmas Kickstart Challenge #97 - Poinsettias

 Christmas Kickstart's current challenge is to use poinsettias on your project. Here's my card for the challenge:

The poinsettia image was colored with Olo markers.  I added some diecut greenery and a gold metallic scallop layer behind the sentiment layer.  

Jingle Belles One Layer Christmas challenge

Jingle Belles' current challenge is to create a one-layer card.  This is always a fun challenge for me, because even though I don't do a lot of high dimensional cards, I usually at least pop up my sentiment.

For this card, I used some older layering stamps from the Greetery and did some masking for this simple card.

The scallop frame looks like a diecut, but it's from a Simon Says Stamp set that has several different frames and borders.  This all makes a nice flat card that's perfect for mailing.

52 Christmas Card Throwdown - March theme challenge

 The theme challenge for March at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is Rudolph/reindeer.

I used some stamps from My Favorite Things to create a slimline card featuring Rudolph, Santa, a few elves.  The images were colored with Olo markers.  These images just make me smile!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #96 - no red, green or gold

 The current challenge at Christmas Kickstart is to use non-traditional colors - no red, green, or gold.  I went with a blue, lavender, silver color scheme on my card.

The image and sentiment were stamped and embossed in silver.  The card front is blue cardstock, that I ink blended with blue and lavender inks.  A few silver sequins were added to finish it off.  The stamp set is an older Stamptember set from Simon Says Stamp/Gina K. 

Jingle Belles "Green" challenge

 Jingle Belles is hosting a challenge to use predominantly green on your project.  Here's my card for the challenge:

I used a cover plate die with some green and green glitter cardstock for the card front.  Then I adhered some poinsettia ephemera pieces with dimension adhesive, adding a little bit of shimmer pen to the white petals and gold glitter pen to the centers.  A small foiled sentiment was added to complete the card.  I have to admit, it was hard not adding some red to this one, but I think the white poinsettias work well.

AAA Cards Challenge #285 - anything goes

 AAA Cards is hosting an "anything CAS goes" challenge, with an option to use spring colors.

Here's my card for the challenge:

I used a couple of different stamp set from The Greetery for the bouquet and tag, and a die from Divinity Designs.  Love this casual bouquet stamp!  

Jingle Belles "Bling" challenge

 I'm just squeaking in under the wire for the Jingle Belles challenge to "bling it up" on your project.

I stamped the image and sentiment in gold and embossed with gold glitter embossing powder.  I added some small gems to the poinsettia centers and ornament tops and mounted it all onto a light green shimmery cardstock for the card front.  Lots of subtle sparkle on this one!
