To celebrate this 200th challenge, you are being given 4 different options for your cards...so really, the hardest part of this challenge is picking which inspiration to go with!
I was so sure I was going to go with the snowman theme, but I got a little sidetracked (thanks Colleen!!) and ended up going with the pink and silver inspiration. Take a look:
I started by sponging my background with Spun Sugar distress ink, and then embossed the large pine sprig from SU!'s Ornamental Pine stamp set (LOVE this set!!!) with silver embossing powder. I also embossed the ornament in silver on a piece of cardstock that I had sponged the Spun Sugar ink on first. My sentiment was die cut using WPlus9's Hand Lettered Holiday. Here's a closer up photo so you can see the die cut better (I cut and glued 3 of the "joy" together for some added dimension):
I used My Favorite Things Die-namics Blueprints 27 die for the stitched and scalloped border on this layer, and then attached it to a white card base. A few iridescent sequins finished my card.
So what are you waiting for?? Join in the fun and make a card for this BIG celebration! LOTS of inspiration this week, so head on over and check it all out right HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)
