I've just finished a card for 3 lovely challenges:
Jingle Belles - Use only neutral colors
CAS(E) this sketch
and a new challenge I just found -
Muse Challenge
where we are to be inspired by this card:
And here are the three challenges all rolled up into my one card! I used tans for my neutrals - Vintage Cream Cardstock with Frayed Burlap and Old Paper Distress for inks. I made my background with an
Aspen Tree Stencil that I sponged with the Old Paper Ink. The window die is the
Small Madison Window that I popped up over the background with foam dots and I punched the sentiment with the Modern Label punch by SU.
The Muse challenge ends tomorrow so I'm going to hurry up and post this
so I can link it up - don't want to miss it like my project on
yesterday's post!!
ETA: I'm also entering this into the
Little Red Wagon challenge I just found - to use a window!
Thanks so much for stopping by - have a great weekend everyone!!
Stamps: Merry Christmas from Nordic Winter - Waltzingmouse
Paper: Vintage Cream - PTI
