Here's the inside:
I've challenged myself to use more scraps, stamps that have never seen ink, and embellies that I keep hoarding. I did pretty good with this card. Even used both of my die cutting machines! (Slice and Grand Calibur) I cut the snowflakes from three colors of card stock with the Slice, then cut the circles with the GC. After gluing the green strip, I adhered the circles and snowflakes, switching out the colors. I was originally going to put rhinestones in the center, but remembered that I had these wooden snowflakes. Out came the mists and Shimmerz! When they were dry, I glued them with Helmar 450 adhesive. (Those bad boyz ain't going nowhere! HA!) I stamped the sentiment in the corner, and another simple sentiment finished the inside.
I've used the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch #57, the colors from Color Throwdown #272, and the 'Let it snow' themes for CAS-ual Fridays #123 and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.
Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope you have a great day!
Chris

boy you sure packaged those challenges into one fabulous CAS card. Awesome. Everytime you post challenges I want to go and create for the same one or ones. you are either a good influence on me or a bad one. lol. I don't have time for challenges right now as my "assembly line" must get started to day for 15 cards. I need them in the mail soon although most are local. TFS today
ReplyDeleteI would hope that I'm both a good and bad influence on you Barb! LOL! I thank you for your kind words, and so does my ego! ;) I do feel your pain about getting cards done. I just finished addressing the last batch of cards/envies for mailing tomorrow.
