Good Day of Challenges!

There are some fun challenges out here in blogland!  I joined in a few (more) today.

The first one is Peace on Earth #17 - be inspired by their mood board or a Christmas card, along with Krafty Chicks Challenge #615; Christmas.

I was loosely inspired by the 3rd photo.  I simply cut a few circles, sponged on color, added a topping with some gold thread, and lastly added a sentiment.  

Oh yeah, I did add some white splatters too.

I went on to play in Freshly Made Sketches #529.

 

I'm hoping I got this close [enough].  Maybe not, but I was still inspired by the sketch.

I used some Verve products, and a few of the Tim Holtz Big Holiday Green Thinlits, a Hero Hearts Nesting Die, and some pearls to finish off the card.

That's it for the challenges today.  Thanks Challenges - I had fun as usual.

This last card is a trial for me. I have to say I am thrilled with the end result!  While this card took me about 2 hours to make, it was worth it!  I'm sure my friend will like it too.

I went to PNGWING [I found this via a FB post], and downloaded this beautiful image twice.  I used one for the base on the card, and used some dies to cut the other one.  Using the "cut" template, I was able to line up the images perfectly!

Very happy with this end result!

Have a good week-end.  I'll be in my stamp room since they are forecasting 111°+, and I don't go outside with temps like that!
