Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge-January 2017!









Hi, Friends!

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and may you be blessed with a peaceful happy healthy new year!

It's time once again for the Paper Sweeties Monthly Challenge!   And, I'm excited to announce that the winner will be awarded a $25 gift certificate to the store!  You can make a project and be inspired by anything on the photo...anything goes! 

This is my second post for today, so please scroll down to see my card made for Dies R Us Challenge!  And, here is my fun shaker card for Paper Sweeties...


For my card, I was inspired by the adorable snowmen and the trees!  Those snowmen are just too cute with the pretty little buttons!  I started with a white card base.  A water colored background with Tim Holtz distress inks of Broken China and Tumbled Glass.  I used the Holly Days stamp set and coordinating dies Sweet Cuts-Holly Days.  The trees were water colored and die cut using Sweet Cuts-Trim the Tree.  The snow was made using Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders.  Liquid Pearls(white opal) was applied for dimension on their hats and the snow drifts.  For the sequin mix, I used  (Winter Mix). Buttons were attached to the scarves and tied with white pearl cotton to finish the card.


Please hop along and view more inspiration from my teammates...
