Some Fun Challenges

I got home from work to find these fun challenges waiting for me!

Muse 41 - Papertrey's Make It Monday 138 [die inlay] - Simon Says Anything Goes


It was such a fun Muse card and I love doing the die inlay technique - just a win win for me to join in the fun!
I used the stunning Memory Box Winterland Tree [from Simon Says] and a sentiment from PTI's Think Big #20
I'll be back later with my SCS Color Challenge card~



Thanks for stopping by~

Oh my goodness, first glance I thought you used the Ampersand die to create this tree. Regardless, I love your results with the added bling and glittered snowbank. Great take on the inlaid die-cut technique!

Andrea Ockey Parr said...

WOW! I was stopped in my tracks with the energy and elegance of your card! I adore that swirly tree and the colors you used are gorgeous! What a great way to interpret a traditional Christmas tree. Love the bling you added, too! You've inspired me to look at trees a little differently, so thank you so much for sharing your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!

What bling? LOL All I saw was that gorgeous tree with all of it's lovely swirls and the snow bank. Maybe I was distracted by the blue, it is my favorite color. Love this card, Vicki!
