Christmas Card Challenges #10

We have a wonderful inspiration photo for you this week here at Christmas Card Challenges.  My favorite color is blue so I always appreciate getting to use that color.

On a card base of Whisper White, I added a layer of Night of Navy.  Using Whisper White cardstock, I punched a border of stars using the Confetti Stars Border Punch.  For the moon, I used a 2" Circle Punch and lightly sponged around the edge with Night of Navy ink.  Santa in his sleigh and his reindeer are from the Stampin' Up!® Holiday Home stamp set and also stamped in Night of Navy.  The sentiment, stamped in Night of Navy, is from the Compliments of the Season stamp set from Waltzing Mouse.  It's stamped using Night of Navy.  The four evergreens are cut using the Evergreens Dies from Taylored Expressions.  I popped them up with some dimensionals.  I did add some Wink of Stella Clear Shimmer to each of the stars but it does not photograph well but it does make for a pretty effect on the card.  A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenges #10

This week's Christmas Card Challenges was to create something predominantly white.  Well, that was easy.  All I had to do was look out my craft studio window and see the white covered world and snowman instantly came to mind.  What else do you do when you have all that snow on the ground.  We had a major winter storm come through last weekend and it left over ten inches of snow behind.  And, while penning this post, it's snowing again and will leave us with another inch or so.  You can see pictures of the day after the storm on my blog, Jots, Dots and Thoughts.

For my card, I used my snowman embossing folder and added bits of silver to make the little guy stand out.  It's easy to build a snowman when you don't actually have to go out in the cold to do it.
