Flourishes let it snow

Our challenge today at Flourishes is to make something landscape, let it snow is the theme.  You can tell they are in Florida and don't have to shovel the stuff, LOL  I used their gorgeous tree and stamped it in Forest Moss distressed ink.  The Kiwi oval frame is from Cherry Lynn
the pretty holly lace flourish is also from Cheery Lynn.  I added some tiny red gems for berries on the holly and some snow flakes from Michaels.  The background paper is from JoAnns.  I sponged the sky with distressed inks and added some snow writer to details.  Be sure to check out the gorgeous DT cards and a chance to win some goodies.

Flourishes Noel, round card

This gorgeous wreath is from Flourishes, I have a feeling it may be discontinued but they have some gorgeous Christmas stamps and a set of seasonal wreaths also.  I stamped in memento black and colored with copics. I highlighted the berries with god and red stickles.  The round scalloped die cut to make the card is from Cheery Lynn, the doily is from Marianne designs, another circle from Cheery Lynn to stamp the wreath on.  Did you know you can make shaped cards with any die cut machine, just cut the paper 6x12 and fold in half, set the die cut about 1.25" above the fold and run it through the machine. No large machine required.  The bow and snowflakes are from Michaels.  Be sure to check out the gorgeous DT cards on Flourishes blog. 

Just Rite Christmas Linky

Just Rite is having a party.  Link your cards to their blog and a chance to win some goodies.  Hop over and check out the beautiful cards and new Christmas stamps from Just Rite.  This beautiful die cut is a cut and emboss from Marianne dies. I used blue mirror card and trimmed it with red gems. The borders are red holographic peel offs and I used a gold pen to trim around the image and die cuts. 

Looking for Design Team Members

Creative Belli Blog is looking for some new DT's for next year.  The fun part of this team is it is NOT company sponsored, that means you can use any stamp, download, sticker, whatever on your card but you MUST FOLLOW THE THEME!! It also means that there are not free goodies for doing this, it's just for fun!!   It is every two weeks and you will also have to go into the participants cards and comment on some of them.  If you are interested please go over and check out the rules on Creative Belli Blog.  
I have enjoyed my time there and met some very sweet and wonderful friends there.  

Crafty Secrets Christmas with Midnight Madness sketch

This beautiful image is from Crafty Secrets Christmas images and journal notes.  I layered with light green and red to match the image and the background paper from Melissa Frances.  The sketch layout is from Priscilla's Midnight Madness.   

Melissa Frances Angels

I love Melissa Frances paper and stickers.  I've had some of these stickers for a couple of years and they are so gorgeous I hated to use them, LOL The paper is Melissa Frances holiday and I added lots of bling and spellbinders dies to finish the card.

Flourishes timeless Tuesday, out of the box

The challenge on Flourishes blog today is to make a card, Out of the Box, make sure part of the image is out of the die cut.  I used this gorgeous image from
feminine charm set and made sure the bottom of the dress form is out of the die cut.  I colored it with Spica pens and added lots of bling to this card.  The sentiment is from that same set.  I used oval spellbinders die cuts for the image.
