CYP Challenge 339

always
Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge 339
First thing I did here was cut out a mountain line. 
I used it for my mask so I could take FSJ Pan Pastels
and create my colorful sky. I removed the mask and
then used it for a layer of raised mountains in front.
You can't really see the dimension but it's there. :-)
I used Stickles to make my snow on the mountain peaks.
I colored my Polar Bears (Two Cubs and Momma) from
ADFD. I'm a HUGE Polar Bear lover and these cuties
are awesome!! I used pop dots to raise the bears and I
stamped my sentiment and put together my layers. 

Here's a big THANK YOU to this week's sponsor!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 319

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 319
-All About The Words-

Here's my card for the challenge!
Obviously I wanted to highlight the words in some way so
I thought that using the Thank You sentiment as a framing
border was a decent idea. I just stamped the words and 
my delicate floral center with black ink. I just wanted a
hint of color so I used my Copics to color the tiny
 flowers and leaves. FSJ Glaze was used on the leaves 
and flowers. 
The glaze added a nice shine and pop. Naturally I had
to add a few crystal gems before I began putting my
card layers together. It was a really simple card 
but I think it the simplicity is what makes it lovely.

Craft Your Passion Challenge 337

always
Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge 337
 I basically made this card white on white. I die cut the
sweet tree line and added some layers of "snowy hills". 
I used Fun Stampers Journey Pan Pastels for the 
sky and snow colors. I used a pale blue and lavender.
I colored my cute little snow guy using Copic markers.
I took a silver pen and colored the buttons and the 
band on the ornament. Some puff and Stickles to his cap. 
Naturally, as long as I had the Stickles out I made use
of it all over my snow. I fussy cut my snowman and 
raised him, and some of the snow layers, using pop
dots and mounting tape. I nice little "Peace on Earth"
sentiment (A*muse) stamped in black and DONE!
