*********************TODAY’S POST ***********************

I was supposed to make this card and post it last week…but with my classes, and other obligations, I just couldn’t get it photographed and posted. So here it is a little late.  Colors we had to use were So Saffron (a light yellow),  More Mustard (a warm mustard color), and Riding Hood Red ( a warm red tone). I chose to use flowers of several kinds, plus the lacy border punch.

Here’s a few more close ups.

Supplies: Simply Soft Hostess  & Circle Circus ss; Cardstock: More mustard, ridinghood red, whisper white, Soft Suede; Inks: So Saffron, More Mustard, Ridinghood Red;

Accessories: DSP, Paper daisies, Triple Blossom punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Lacy border punch, sponges, Polka dot mustard ribbon, round fired rhinestones, Vanilla shimmer smooch spray ,  EKSuccess border punch. (a new one someone loaned me to try out:)

Technique: Used some distressing and sponging, spritzing.. to jazz it up a bit. Triple bow using Magic bow maker from Lee Conrey.

Be sure to leave a comment! This card is for sale in my ETSY shop if you’d like to have like it. I also do custom colors if you want a different color combo.

Here is the sketch for this week’s challenge.

I chose to follow the sketch pretty close this week and not mix it up like I usually do.. So here is my card, and some other pictures showing all the “bling” I added. My hanging ornaments are 3 different textures: 1 is Metal-embossed, 1 is Designer paper punched, and the 3rd is what I call a “snowflake” punched from regular cardstock then all of them “blinged” up a bit more with some glitter paper and rhinestones. Enjoy!!

I had borrowed a friend’s stamp to make some Christmas cards. Here are some more of those cute little easy cards.. using up some of my retired organdy ribbons…. heated to scrunch them up some, then scrunched up more when applied to the card.

I also used some of the smooch spray over the front of the card to go with the yellow. Tree is embellished with dazzling details and some crystal effects.

Here is another color version, using paper and ribbon instead of just ribbon. If you want to make some quick cards.. here’s the answer!! Stamp the image, color it with a few markers, add some paper and ribbon trim, spritz it and let it dry!!
