Yes, I have to get going on my Christmas cards! I created this one card for five different challenges.
A very simple design using designer paper for the background, a die frame and sentiment cut from gold metallic paper.
I layered both the frame and sentiment over a sturdier white card die cut and they are both up on foam.
I say a simple design but it took me about 2 hours to find a piece of DP with the Kick Start Challenge colors in it!! And I die cut the frame and sentiment out of 4 different colors before settling on gold!
Here are the challenges I'm linking to:
