Over at Jingle Bells, there is a fantastic challenge going on, (where you can find the Linky tool) and when I saw the theme, I knew I had to try to participate. Please do check it out, as it is very worthwhile. There are some goodies available, but the biggest prize is the chance to do something to help other people. The title of the Challenge is I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas(and a Cure) (where you can read about the challenge). The rules are pretty simple...make a card featuring Pink. For each card, $2 is donated to the Susan K. Komen Foundation - up to $4, but you can enter as many cards as you wish.
Here's mine.
- Elizabeth Craft Ornament #2 die made from Dylusions sprayed background with colors Bubblegum Pink, Cherry Pie and Funky Fuschia. Some of the colors had the white linen dilution, some were full strength. Pink rhinestones added for some bling. Silver rickrack hangers.
- Ruby Red Shimmer Sheetz embossed with a Darice Snowflake EF, then sanded.
- card base background was a cream & gold 6x6 paper that got DI Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar and Raspberry Pink sponged all over it.
- added the rhinestone snowflakes and a sticker sentiment, which is silver on glossy card stock.
Hope you like it, and that it inspires you to join in the Jingle Bells Pink Christmas Challenge. Thanks for joining me this morning, and have an absolutely wonderful day. Hugs
Lovely ornaments and snowflakes. Good use of the rick rack. I bet all that bling is really beautiful irl, even more than the photo.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...you have been very dedicated about getting cards finished and up and on the blog! I am so impressed!
ReplyDeleteI need to get my butt in gear and get my time more organized. My plan to stay home for two days has not been perfected as of yet. Mr Scrappymo seems to make plans that include me on those days...teehee
Think i need to say NO a little louder...ahhhh...the joys of retirement...trying to balance craft times against a new routine with DH. Hopefull sport season will keep him busy soon!
Mary this is absolutely gorgeous. You are such a Dylusions queen. TFS
