Well I am going to try my hand at a Moxie Fab challenge.I love the colors Nina used and have been playing with pastels a lot this season.I started with and idea that I wanted to incorporate some snowflakes and my card and developed it from there.I die cut some snowflakes using Create a a flake 1 and 2 spellbinders dies from some pearl paper. I found a pretty aqua and pink paper. I die cut them with spellbinders dies.I debossed the aqua one with a cuttlebug embossing folder.I found a nice saying from Gena K designs and die cut that with another spellbinder fancy tags die.I sponged the edges with a Tim Holtz distress ink.I put it all together and decided I needed some gold on my snowflakes to pull it all together.I found a pretty plaid ribbon and some pearls to finish it all off. My 18 year old liked it so I guess I did O.K.
Thanks for stopping and have a Blessed Christmas.

From cereal box to ornament/card

1. I stamped my image and colored it with copic markers.
2. I die cut it with my tree nestibilities.
3. I cut another tree from a cereal box.
4. I cut the back from a printed paper.( be sure to cut it upside down so the print will fit on the tree when turned print out and glued to the back of the ornament.
5. I used a sponge to ink up the edges of the tree front and back.
6. I added some diamond stickles to the snowman and star.
7. I die cut the slash folder card holder with an accucut die.
8. I stamped snowflakes ( Rupa's from Gena K designs) and embossed them with white embossing powder.
9. I die cut the snowflake ( spellbinders) I also embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder for some texture.I did this with the blue stipe of paper also.
   I stamped the saying ( Gena K) and embossed it with white embossing powder also.
   
10. I layered everything and attached it to the slash folder.I then added some diamond stickles on a few spots on the snowflakes for some sparkle.

Gena K Blog Hop Cards

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the green mat and then gently rubbed white brilliance ink on the raised snowflakes. I used copic markers to color the image.

I used Rupa's Winter Friends stamp set again for this card.Used a snowflake border embossing folder to do the blue snowflakes. I also rubbed white brilliance ink on top of them to make them stand out more.The house and tree were colored wtih Copic markers and cut with spellbinders die's. The colors are outside the box for me but I have been seeing so much of the pastels this year I had to try it. I like the results! You can see more ideas if you go to Gena K's Blog there will be links to lots of other blogs.Thanks for looking and have fun blog hopping.
