Bring On The Merry

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Festive Friday Challenges // #FF0199 ...An inspo list challenge!!  From the inspo list honoring National Candy Cane Day, use 3 of the elements on your card.  My three from the inspo list: Christmas tree, stripes, and Christmas sentiment.

Inky Paws Challenge // #247 ...A "Newton's Nook" theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is..."Bring on the sparkle and shine".  This chic from on of Newton's Nook stamp sets is bringing on the sparkle, the shine, and the merry!!  It was fun paper piecing her hat and dress!!  For the sparkle and shine, I used ultra fine glitter on my Christmas Tree bulbs and the strip across the card...I was disappoint at how the color of it changed using the red double sided tape...it works great from holding glitter in place but it does change the color.

Color Hues // #TCH123 ...A color challenge!!  For this current challenge we are to use PINK & GREEN!!  I wasn't sure if yesterday's card would count since Lost Lagoon is questionable as to whether it is a green or a blue...so I made a second card using a for sure green!!  Here is my take two on this challenge using Bubble Bath and Granny Apple Green from Stampin Up.

Make My Monday // #MMM266 ...A theme challenge!!  CHRISTMAS TREE is the theme for this current challenge!!  The whimsical Christmas tree stamp from Newton's Nook fit this challenge perfectly!!
