I am so excited!
I have been asked to be the Guest Designer at
CR84FN Color Challenge this month!
I am so excited because of several reasons! One, this is one my FAVORITE websites! Second, the designers are fabulous. Every week I am inspired by their work! Each designer has their own blog, which I visit almost every day! Please check them out! And most of all...I am so honored!!!
So I feel a little pressure...so I better put my best thinking, creative hat on! heehee
The challenge this week:
Pink and black are some of my favorite colors!
I decided to use a Winter/Christmas theme with this card.
I know that you don't normally think pink & black for this season, but I decided to try it!
And I think it turned out really pretty.
First , I stamped the pink card with a Christmas words background stamp (I bought this stamp at Michael's a few years ago). I dry embossed cream color paper with the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder.
I tore the snow flake embossed paper and then the black paper and glued them on top of the stamped card.
The tag is made with the Christmas Punch (Stampin Up) stamp set. It was then punched with the SU Tag punch. I hand cut the pink and black layers behind the stamped tag.
I colored his nose and hat with Copic Markers.

Added some Starburst Stickles to the snowman and Cotton Candy Stickles his hat.
Punched a hole at the top of the tag and added pink ribbon and black twine.

Your card is so adorable! Love how you used and embossing on one side, print on the other and tore to add the black in the middle. The snowman is so cute and elegant. Great Christmas card.
