Happy Friday crafty PEEPS! Wow, it's C-O-L-D here in central Alberta, CANADA this morning! My thermometer is at -36C and with the wind chill, that's -43C! There are extreme wind chill warnings out throughout our province and I'm so very thankful that today was a day off for the kids...and I do not have to venture out so you know what that means right?! Yep, time to get my craft on with candles lit, and a little heater by my feet! ;)
This morning, I combined 3 challenges in one! CAS-ual Fridays wants to see a "tree or trees" on our projects:
Then, I came across some wonderful news - Lesley is re-opening the FUSION challenge blog starting in January, and they are looking for a few new DT's....I am playing along with their challenge this week - use either the photo as inspiration (colors, textures, images, etc.) or use the sketch on it's own, OR...combine both for FUSION.... (I took the tree aspect along with the red/white colors from the photo for my card)
PLUS...over at Paper Smooches, they are looking for January's Guest Designer - so I'm throwing my name in the hat with that one - by also playing along in the SPARKS "Anything Goes" challenge this week!
I used the uber-cute set from Paper Smooches called Warm Hearts to create my little scene of trees....fussy cut each tree and added some twine, gems and popped the main image up on the red card base. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out!
I would also like to enter this card into "December Winter/Holiday" challenge over at One Crazy Stamper.
Thanks so much for stopping in today - I will hopefully be back with another "for-fun" card today! I'm off to refill my coffee cup and clean up my desk to start all over! Stay warm!!!
Love the clean lines, pattern paper and colors of this card. Thanks for playing along with us at the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge!
ReplyDeleteCool, nice paper, great job fun card!

ReplyDeleteHi again friend, wearing another hat here! I love this card how it is clean simple but yet has punch. The trees are my favorite, and the poken' thing around the edges...very nice touch. You added the twine and that is wonderful. Way to go friend. Thanks for playing our Winter/Holiday challenge at One Crazy Stamper, wonderful job!

Gorgeous paper piecing Lori! Thank you for joining in the fun @ FUSION, hope to see you again soon :)
ReplyDeleteWay to combine the papers on your trees, Cathy! You've got all the bases covered; the big dots, the tiny patterns, and the stripes. Really well done! Thanks so much for playing in the CAS-ual Fridays AND Fusion Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow...one great card for so many challenges and each one perfect for the specific challenge! I love those patterned paper trees and the red/white combo was really reminds me of the Fusion challenge. I also really like how you scattered those gems on your card to add just that final touch of red.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...your paper piecing on this card is fabulous! I love the gray/red combination. So adorable. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Fusion!
