Poinsettia Color Challenge

 

It is Day 18 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. We are doing a color challenge today of Cherry Cobbler, Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand. I just love the dies in the Poinsettia Petals Suite, it’s so easy to put together a stunning blossom in just a snap. I inked up my embossing folder and used Wink of Stella to create this awesome background. Another Christmas card added to my collection!

Merry Moose Vintage

Today is Day 17 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. The theme is Back in My Day – A Vintage Christmas. The vintage style is not one I do very often, but I sure had fun creating this one.

Dashing Deer

Today is the 13th day of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. The theme today is Fairy Tail Christmas, which is about creating a card to include some type of animal image.

The deer is mounted on a rosette for a 3D card. Hope you’ll consider playing along with the challenge.
