Challenge #279 - "Winter" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I nearly forgot to write and schedule my card for todays Challenge I have downsized some of my DT work and of course it makes you rather sloppy about keeping your blog upto date, and anyway I managed to remember in good time, and this weeks Challenge is all about "Winter" so please could you make sure your cards are themed with this in mind.
As always our very generous sponsors are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. on their website, its amazing at how many more people are using our images and are winning the main prize so do please go and browse and see for yourself.

 But of course this prize is only to those that have used the product from The Paper Shelter, but even if you dont they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice so you really cannot loose can you. The other thing is you are only allowed to enter 3 projects and one of these must carry one of our products please.
And now for my own card

And this little lady is called the "Winter Goddess" and you will find them here, I have printed her onto white card and then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a oval die to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount our ot blue card, then I used some glitter on the snow on the branches of the tree and on the ground.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card, the papers I have used are from the same set "Winter Goddess" as the image and you will find them here. I then used some clear gems around the shape that is shown in the background and placed my mounted image in the center of it. I also stamped the sentiment onto some white card and cut it out with another of my dies, and cut a blue one to pop behind it.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration, and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Winter" themed Challenge.

And over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot the A Team are starting this year with a challenge of "Shades of Blue" so for this we want to see lots of blue on your cards please, mind you it doesnt exclude hair and skin colour so if you can manage to use mainly blue that would be just fabulous.

This little lady is called "Snowborder Girl" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I cut her out completely ready to stick her to the background and slightly raised it with mounting foam to give it more depth.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card, the paper as I said is also from "Snowborder Girl" and came separately to the image so I printed it onto paper and stuck it to the blue mount and used glitter on the snow to give it a bit of sparkle.

Pink Gem Challenge - "Snowflakes"

Good Morning Gemsters, todays Challenge over on Pink Gem Designs Challenge is "Snowflakes" and I have to admit Janet is so talented and has such a lovely selection of images to play with and you will them here

 

Pink Gem Designs 

And here is the Card I created for the Challenge

This image is called "Snowflake Wonder" and you will find it here, I printed the image onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I then cut it out and stuck glitter on the bottom and the snowflakes.

The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a piece of blue card for the first mount and the papers I used are also from Pink Gem Designs and they are called "Snowflakes" and you will find them here, I used 3 of the papers the first a blue background with white snowflakes and then the soft green and pink I have cut into strips and used the Martha Stewart Border punch down the edges and layered them up as shown.

The mounted image was then placed in the middle with a sentiment which was stamped onto another piece of white card and mounted also with a piece of blue card.

To finish of I have used a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and created several snowflakes which were dipped into glitter and layered up and placed down both the left and right side of the card.

Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will wan to take part in this "Snowflakes" Challenge.
