Instead of using the colors from the Challenge Badge, I decided to go with more of a slate blue. I also wanted to use the gingerbread men from a Pink and Main stamp set that I bought last year. I think this little guy is adorable!

I created a simple background with some blue ink and a snowflake stencil. I then adhered some snowflakes onto my panel and distressed the edges before layering it onto a blue, A2 cardbase.

The stamped and die cut the sentiment from The Greetery. My last step was to adhere a few white gems and my card was done.

Hey Friends!!!

I am popping in with a couple of cards I created for some challenges. My first card I created is a birthday card.

My daughter turns 25 today and I created this simple birthday card for her. I dove through my scraps and found different pattern papers and cardstock that matched for my card.

I wanted it to be simple because I made this at the last minute. However, I also wanted to personalize it so I added the number die cuts. 

I used two challenges as inspiration for my card-Freshly Made Sketches #715 and Just Add Ink Challenge #775-Celebration.

My next card is a Christmas card that I LOVE!! These images I HAD TO HAVE because I thought these little mice are SO CUTE. I used the Candy Cane Lane stamps/die set from Mama Elephant.

I used a stencil for the circles in back of the mice. I then used a snowflake stencil over the circle stencils to create my snowflakes.

I colored in all my little mice with Copic markers. I LOVE how they came out!!

I am entering this into three challenges. This weeks Inspired By...#365-the red from the gnome, The Tic Tac Toe Challenge #285-middle row down-blue, free, stencil and the AAA Challenge #305-Anything Goes CAS.

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS Sunday!!!

A New Challenge Over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge-Challenge #632

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #632 is a THEME challenge. Create a project using the theme-LET IT SNOW.

Yes, it is a Christmas card but I am once again working on new ones for next year. It is never too early to start!!

Though I rarely use the colors from the challenge badge, I decided to use them for this card. I started off by embossing a piece of Spellbinders Breeze cardstock with my favorite embossing folder by Simon Says Stamp!-Filigree Snowflakes.

I added some snowflakes from my stash. I am not sure what companies they are from as I have an OBSESSION with buying snowflake dies and die cut them all at once in one sitting.

My sentiment is from Sunny Studios. I used a shade darker ink from the background cardstock to color it in. I then covered the die cut in glossy accents. The black sentiment banner is from my stash. 

To finish my card, I adhered some white jewels randomly on the background.
