Two cards today for three challenges. First up is a card I made for the Etsy Inspired challenge (#113). I haven't been able to do an Etsy Inspired challenge for ages despite my desire to participate! Inspiration this week comes from Putu Princess Escapes. My inspiration was taken from this t-shirt. When I saw it I immediately thought of my Waltzingmouse Asian Garden set. Because her shirt designs are very clean and simple, I kept my card clean and simple and just stamped the tree trunk in brown and then the rest of the tree using Stampin Up!'s Baja Breeze ink. My second card is for the current Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge (#64), as well as the Flourishes Warm Winter Wishes challenge (FLLCNOV10). The SSC challenge was to make a card depicting the weather and since last week I was the fortunate recipient of the ENTIRE November Our Daily Bread Designs release (yay!!) I used the Snowflake background stamp and did some emboss/resist stamping. The tag was die cut using the new tag die from ODBD (part of my winnings!). I stamped the sentiment (also ODBD) in Stormy Sky Distress ink, die cut it using a Spellbinders oval and them ink distressed the edges a bit.
Thanks for taking a peek....
