Muse - Christmas Visions #11
This week Betty's beautiful card is our inspiration. For my card, I closely followed the color palette. A touch of green was used as an offset under the circle, below the burgundy panel and with a few green rhinestones. The sentiment and presents are gold embossed.

Challenges Entered:
Muse Challenge #124
MFT Summer School: Gallon/Quart/Pint
For the Muse Challenge where Ardyth is the Muse this week, I used the same color theme, similar flowers and stems and some glitter on the petals.
For the MFT Summer School Challenge I chose blue (gallon), green (quart) and yellow (pint).
I chose "birthday wishes" as the sentiment, although other sentiments, such as get well, thinking of you, etc., would work well. I like the look of tilting the panel just a touch.

I'm playing in the following challenges:
-- Muse: Christmas Visions 10
-- MFTWSC 236
For the MCV 10 Challenge my inspiration came from a number of elements in Chriss' card. Those elements used:
--the color theme of aqua, red and lime
--stripes
--texture
--two trees (in lieu of two mittens)
--movement (snow drift)
This was a fun challenge to use the colors.
The design fits (somewhat loosely) with the MFTWSC 236.

MCV9 - Celebrate the Season
Inspirations for this card were the color theme (red, white and blue) and embossing. Instead of the three embossed ornaments, I chose to gold-emboss three Christmas trees. Additional shimmer was achieved by using clear Wink of Stella on one of the snow drifts and star.
