Happy snow day!

 Well we had snow up north in Merrill WI and we had to pull out the snow blower at my Parents house on Thanksgiving. I must say it was Pretty, the snow on the ground and the tree's. It put you in the Christmas spirit.
  I did this card for the Tuesday trigger http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/11/tuesday-trigger-its-snowing-gingerbread.html
 This is my take on the gingerbread snowflake. I die cut the tag card with an accucut die from cream paper and the tag mat from kraft paper.I stamped the snowflakes with white versa color ink and then embossed them with white embossing powder.These are a cut set from Raisin Boat stamps Let it snow set.http://raisinboat.com/view_Product.asp?productID=104 
 I then added a 1/4" grosgrain ribbon through the hole.It is a simple and fast card but I really like how it turned out.
  I hope you find time to play today!

Another Just Rite Challenge this time it is a color challenge

This time Just Rite has a color challenge using navy/gold/and rust. I have the golden yellow in my bird and background,I added the rust in the mad of the bird and have you figured out the navy? It is the stitching around the card and circles and one brad in the center of the ivory flower.The navy was the big challenge for me.
I used spellbinders die's to cut things out and copic markers to color things in.
I hope you challenge your self this week and find time to play.

Justrite Thinking of you

Justrite has a challenge for a sympathy or thinking of you card. I colored this card with copics and added some flower soft to the flower centers and buds to add some dimension to the flowers.
I hope you enjoy my out of the box choice of colors I like to try new things and I like the results.
Take time to play.

Some Christmas cards to share

I played along with some of the Challanges over at Stamp TV.One was to use non traditional colors for a Christmas card. I went with aqua and red and cream.
The other challange was to use a odd number of elements in my card and I went with 3 the snowman, the red snowflake and the Merry Christmas tag.
I hope you enjoy them and make time to play today.
