Green, Red, and Turquoise

 Good evening everyone, 

I was working on Christmas cards, but I have a few upcoming birthdays, so I switched my focus for a few hours. I was fortunate enough to come across some great card challenges for inspiration. I started with the color challenge from TGIF challenges.  Number 554 is to use Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green. I knew I had paper somewhere that could match these colors but I had no idea it would fit so well with the birthday theme I needed.

 My sketch inspiration came from Freshly Made Sketch #715.  I am also submitting this to the Just Add Ink Challenge #775 which is Celebration.

    

  

I hope my friend likes her card. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers.

Foil Christmas snowflakes

 Hi all, 

I have a new card to showcase today for the Tic Tac Toe challenge # 283.

 I used the center line for my card.

It's not a great photo because of the shine. I used a Scrapbooking Made Simple's foiled die with silver foil on gold foil paper.  I wasn't sure it would work and was thrilled when it did. I then added red pearl gems to the centers of the snowflakes and added the sentiment from the Hunkydory big book of sentiments for Christmas. I fussy cut around the sentiment with a deep red that matched the border I placed behind the foil.

I have a few hours to work in my craft room today, so I hope to get more finished by the end of the day. 

Cheers to you. Have a great day.
