Cut it Up Challenge #343 ~ Favorite Color

Hi Crafty Friends,
Here's a fun Cut it Up challenge for you.  Use your favorite color.I'm still in the Christmas card mode, but it was fun using non-traditional colors.

For the background, I used the debossed side of a Spellbinders 3D folder. The ornament and branch is from Jaded Blossom's Build an Ornament die set and the silver frame was made using Taylored Expressions A2 Layer Stacklets  The patterned paper is Doodlebug Polar Pals and the sentiment is from a Spellbinders foil plate/die  Christmas sentiment set.

I hope you'll play along.

Don't forget, Cut it Up also has a DESIGN TEAM call for next year's challenges.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Moving Along with the Times challenge blog has released its November theme, Winter Wonderland.
I took an online card class from SCT and was introduced to LDRS cardmaking kits.I used papers from the Wildwood Cardmaking kit for this project.

I also added branches from Sizzix and a Gina K Designs sentiment made using thermal foil and her Shimmering Christmas Polyglaze sentiments.  I ink splattered the design paper before adding the die cuts and sentiment.  LDRS also has rub on "splatters" if splattering isn't your thing!
