I'm so ready for spring and thought I would make a spring like card, so I can look at flowers and greenery for a change! We did get a touch of sun a few days ago and that was a nice change, but alas snow has descended upon us and we're back to grey skies and winter white landscapes once again!

For this challenge, I decided I wanted to go delicate with my circles card, so I included buttons, pearls and a wreath like element. To make my wreath I ran my white paper through my cuttlebug with both the circle and scallop circle dies, I then inked the edges in brown, ran in through my Xyron and added the glitter. I then stamped the leftover circle, and then pop dotted my wreath off of it (no wasted scraps!). I added my button flowers and wall la, I'm done! Thanks for joining me today, I can't wait to see what you've come up with!

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge: SNOWTACULAR

This week on the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge the challenge is to create a card or project with LOTS OF SNOW! Our prize this week is:

by Card Art

Now onto my card, I used this cute snowman by CTMH and he's actually pop dotted off the page so I could do some Air Gun Spraying beneath him to make him stand out a little, I also did this with the sparkly snow underneath him too...I then decided to change my markers to black and sprayed the outside of my pink mat also...I love the effects! My large snowflake is actually a tiny Christmas ornament for the desk sized trees, I layered it with a Martha Stewart Snowflake and then a rhinestone and topped it off with an organza ribbon, such fun... I hope you have a wonderful holiday, thanks for joining me today, I can't wait to see what you come up with on this fun challenge!
