Card Challenges

Tonight I hosted another online crop on the Dolls & Decorations messageboard. The first online crop was quite a success, but I think that this time even more girls participated. We took off with one of my sketch designs that was published in Cards Only #3. The second challenge was to make a Christmas card without using the traditional Christmas colors red and green. Here is my take on the challenge....



Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Papers Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye Laundry Line Rub-ons: Imaginisce Merry Christmas Tools: Cuttlebug Ice Crystal die, Circle punch, EK Success Corner punch large Ink: VersaColor Pinecone #171 Other: ribbon, button, floss

The third challenge was inspired by an ad from Pottery Barn. When we were in England a few weeks ago Lisette and I scrapped together. Lisette had come across this picture and thought it would be great for a challenge. So, we both made a card inspired by this ad. I really liked the challenge and thought it would be nice to use it for the online crop this evening. The great thing about such an online crop is to see the variety of cards based on a challenge. Here is my card....



Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper Patterned paper: Basic Grey and ?? Ribbon: Bazzill Basics Rub-ons: Melissa Frances, American Crafts Tools: Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, Fiskars Embossing Border punch, flower punch Ink: VersaColor Pinecone #171 Other: Hotfix pearls, twine

Unfortunately I can't show challenge #4 yet as I first have to send that card. I will be able to show the card later this week.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and have a nice Sunday!
