A Couple of Challenges

Once again, those emails are drawing me in - such great challenges!

Let's start with the sketch from MFT #606.  I also entered this into a few others; Krafty Chicks #624; Christmas, and, CAS Christmas August Challenge; Pine

I used the Tim Holtz Big Greens Dies for the "pines", and an older Spellbinders Pointsetta Die for the flower.

I put on some glue, and sprinkled on glitter for a little added shine, and lastly, I used a Christmas Sentiment Strip from Simon Says to finish off my card.

-------------------------------------------------------
 
I came across this video for creating this card and I had to try it!  It made for a stunning background, while still keeping the card CAS.  Works for me. Entering also into Beyond the Blue #67; sequins and glitter.

This was [what I feel] my best one. [Probably because of the gorgeous Peacock Feathers Pearl Mix I used from KatScrapiness] However, I didn't stop at 1! 

These were really fun to make -- mailing them?  Yeah, that will be the challenge~

Thanks Challenges - I had fun!

All your cards are gorgeous and so well designed. I wish I could take part in challenges but since I had to quit my blog the only place I put cards are on some Facebook groups.
