A Couple of Challenges

Today I am joining in at the Fusion Challenge; red Christmas.  


I used the photo inspiration, and was actually inspired by the shape of the vase, and of course, the red.



I went on to play in a new to me challenge, Water Cooler Wednesday #146.  This challenge is all about Christmas.  I'm good with that!

This reindeer has become a regular in my Christmas cards.  He makes me smile every time I use him :).  I cut the background mitten from a piece of an alcohol ink'ed panel I had.


Thanks challenges!  It was fun~


Thanks for stopping by~

Awesome card designs and I love that background behind that cute deer you made for the last card. Gorgeous colors in all of your cards though.

Your first card is elegant and classy! The pop of sparkly red is incredible against the black! And the mitten on your second card is so cool!!
