With this being the first Friday of the month, the Bloom Brigade and some of the Instant Gardeners are here today to usher in a brand new Power & Spark Challenge for December. This one’s a fun one…
So you get to pick from any of our past challenges. Here’s a quick reference for you…
- The Sky's the Limit (Sunsets, blue sky, gray sky, use any color found in the sky)
- Go for the Gold (Use gold in any way – color, embellishments, embossing)
- Pop of Pastel (Use soft pastel colors)
- Cut it Out (Fussy cut all or part of your image)
- Pencil Me In (Color with pencils, including watercolor pencils)
- Hang Some Paper (Use at least three different patterns or colors of designer paper)
- Shabby & Chic (Soft, feminine, romantic, the appearance of age and wear)
- Gifts from the Heart (Gifts or gift packaging, tags, etc.)
- Bits & Pieces (Use just a portion of an image. Stamp off the edge or cut it out, etc.)
- Embellish This (Use embellishments)
So for my cards… yes, I said CARDS … I used two of the challenges above. I used the “Go for the Gold” and “Cut it Out”challenges.
I also get to introduce you to our newest little digi too! Meet “Snowglobe Greetings”… a sweet little snow globe featuring Santa and a sack full of toys plus a new holiday greeting! This new stamp will be available tomorrow.
