Snow buddies

Here I am making christmas cards with my friend and she had this stamp from Hero Arts. I told her I had to borrow this one because I would love to make some cards with it. This is what I came up with

Stamped the image on white cardstock. Colored in with multiple SU markers and water color pencil. Added glitter and glossy accent. The paper with the image is torn only at the edges and then snipped around the outline with scissors. Added dimensional only behind the top of snow people and the base is glued. Here is a close pic of what I mean with all the mumbo jumbo above :) -

Lastly, topmost layer is torn, added glitter along the torn edge and added sentiment.

I really like the way this card turned out. I will have to make a few more and give some to the friend who let me borrow this stamp set.
I am entering this for
1. SCS CAS244 Challenge for tearing and/or distressing.
2. CHNC challenge extra for October
3. Rudolf Day

Thanks for looking. I hope you like it and share your thoughts.

Finally the weather is cooler! Seems like we skipped fall and winter is here. Plus we got rain ..Yay!

So getting back to posting a card - Here is mine for the 10 minute craft dash #28.

I love turquoise - be it card, jewelry, clothes. So I jumped right in and made this. It is a money holder card. 

Took a turquoise paper sprinkled with silver pattern - Made me think of snow - to make the base. Heat embossed Merry Christmas with red EP. I was a little disappointed that the red turned to a blackish color on this paper afgter embossing but ... I guess it looks ok. Punched out a circle with 1 3/8" on the outer flap. Added the scallop ring with silver paper around it. The tree is an inset, glued on the inside on a red circle. Added glitter (ofcourse), star and ribbon for embellishment. 

Took me 7.58 mins to finish. Easy breezy! 

Oh - the hand crafted sentiment you see - is totally an unexpected discovery. I placed that block below my card to angle it up a bit - just so my money holder top flap would stay down. When I downlaoded the pics .. discovered the hand crafted sentiment peeking. I went -mmm.. that looks good. So I kept it.

Thanks for peeking. Leave a comment if you get a chance.
