Now for my cards challenge this week!!

 This week our challenge was to make a card with snowflakes/holidays - basically symbols that represent this time of year to ourselves.  Since my husband works in the lumber/timber industry I always, always have to make some cards using Evergreens - he really likes the more realistic type images- while I like the realistic, I really like the more whimsical type these days.  Here’s my sample…..

Not alot of stamping on this sample - just the sentiment from Memory Box - but take a look at those die cut, embossed and detailed trees!!!!  That’s using Cuttlebug dies and embossing combos!!!  Lindsey has these Tree Tops!!!! in stock (she also has the cutest Snow Fun and For You).  The pattern paper is from Imaginisce (also available from JBelle).  The snowflake is Heidi Swapp ghost shape first painted with an off-white acrylic paint and then covered with Sky Blue Shimmerz!!!! Dies are from Spellbinders, ribbon is May Arts, Linen Vellum is from Papertrey Ink……  now since I’ve been absent for the last two weeks (not posting for the challenges)…. I did a Kisa case a couple of weeks ago but time - well it just got away from me sooooooooo here’s my Kisa case (looking at it I guess I could use for this week’s challenge too!!!! Birds and Evergreens - also representative of the holidays and this time of year!!!)

It’s almost identical to Kisa’s sample and even uses one of her cool techniques where she uses VersaMagic chalk inks on her rubber and then puts some of those wonder Shimmerz paints on!!!!  I loved her sample and knew right away I had to make this.  Rubber stamp is from Inkadinkado, die cut bird (Spellbinders), and that bling is BLINGZ - Spiced Cider (limited edition) from Shimmerz.  Thanks for letting me share.  Be sure to take a look at the other JBelle DT members for great inspiration - links on the right sidebard…… Enjoy and Create, Lila
