Season's Greetings

Muse: ChristmasVisions 26

For this week Birgit provided us a treat with two fantastic cards for our inspirations.  Her card with the yellow round panel caught my interest.  I thought Rudolph fit perfectly in the yellow circle. The inspirations from that card that I used on mine are:
--square card with frame
--yellow circle and other similar colors
--wildlife
--a gem

Sending a Flurry of Love

CASology 170:  Heart

Meet my card for this challenge ... so many possibilities with the cue word of heart. Colored the hearts the same reds used on her coat and scarf. Added a little Wink of Stella to the hearts for some sparkle, and white Gelly Roll to her cuffs and pom-pom to make them extra white.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Muse Card Challenge 139

For this challenge Tracey provided us a precious card with flowers for our inspirations ... those taken from her card that I used on mine are:
--colors
--birthday sentiment
--two flowers
--embellishments
--placement
For the sentiment I stamped in ink that closely matches the flower centers.  These cone flowers (echinacea) are most common in the purple/pink tones.  The small flower stamp included circles that look like dew drops coming off the petals.  The drops are the spots where I placed the rhinestone embellishments.

Seasons GREETINGS

Muse Christmas Visions 24

Chriss provided us with a fun snowy winter scene card for our inspiration.  The elements from Chriss' card used on mine are:
--red birds
--snow slopes
--tree (mine is green)
--holly

I decided to make my card mostly the snow slopes with just the top of the tree and the birds showing.  I experimented with the snow ... wanted to replicate snow that starts to melt then freezes (applied stickles then sprinkled embossing powder with fine glitter and heat embossed).  Even with heat embossing, the glitter shed a little, so I applied a coat of varnish.  Like IRL, the "snow" has that crunchy texture.  With the extra product applied, unfortunately, some of the slope contours disappeared.

Thank you for looking and commenting ... always appreciate your feedback.
