Ornamental Pine

Today's card was intended as a birthday card for someone, but I guess the idea that popped into my head ended up looking more like a Christmas card, so that's what I went with. lol Anyway it's Friday so you know that means it's time for the Friday Mashup challenge which I happen to be hostessing this week. :) My challenge is kind of fun I think, so I hope you'll give it a try.

Create a project using the "Diamond Dust Technique" Tutorial Here.

Create a project using the colors "Island Indigo, Garden Green & Rich Razzleberry (or similar colors if you don't have these exact colors).

or Mash it Up! and create a project "using the colors above and the Diamond Dust Technique".

Sorry there are so many pictures, but I was trying to get one that actually looked like the card when I look at it so you could see what I was seeing too...no such luck! lol I guess I'll let you choose which one you like the best.

Make sure you head over to the Friday Mashup HERE to check out all the fun cards made, and to play along too. We always love to see what everyone creates. :)

I almost forgot to add where my sketch came from! I haven't had much time to enter other challenges, so I managed to last Sunday with one card and I did for today's card too. :) The sketch challenge over at the Paper Craft Crew challenge #117 looked like a good fit for the different colors I was using, and I'm glad I played along because I really like how this card turned out. :)

Just a bit of glimmer in the above pic, but the one below hardly has any at all. Now why can't that camera take a picture the way I see it through my eyes. lol

I had to take one pic of it a little closer. It sure isn't shimmery like the card. It actually looks like it has white in it a little bit. Oh well, better luck for me next time. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Christmas Blessings

How are your Christmas cards coming? Hopefully you all have a good stash going. Here are four more that I've made with 'Tis the Season's sketch challenge #27. Not sure how many cards I have yet, but I know I'm close...whew! :) I have to admit I've really enjoyed making different ones throughout the year instead of coming up with one design and working like crazy in October and November to get them done. I also like the fact that I can buy more than one or two Christmas sets too. So many Christmas or winter cards that I can make now!

Make sure you stop by 'Tis the Season HERE to check out the other great Christmas cards and to play along too.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love the colors that we had to work with this time...black, turquoise and silver.

Make sure you head over to the 'Tis the Season challenge HERE to check out what the designers have to show you this week and to play along too. Remember Christmas is coming so if you want to make some cards now is the time! :)
