I was over at StampNation when I saw Melissa Miller's card using the new Most Wonderful Time of the Year stamp from CP Designs as a focal point on her card. This is what she made....
And here are the two cards that I was inspired to do.
Can you see where I was inspired? First up was the shaped panel. For mine I used the corner of a couple of different scalloped dies. I had a pile of the stamped plaid backgrounds the day my inks and stamps arrived so I pulled a couple out. I also used Melissa's idea of doing some ombre stamping. For the green I used Eucalyptus and Green Tea Inks. I did some sparkle embossing (I can never get this to emboss nicely) and then stamped the little bitty snowflake in the Green Tea. For my Purple card, I used Flirty Fuchsia and Royal Treatment and some Silver glitter ink for the snowflakes.
And while I had the StampNation site open, I decided to take up Erika and Ingrid's challenge... to CASE either Erika's card or Ingrid's CASE of Erika's card.... quite the "Challonge" I chose to CASE Erika's card

And my CASE of it. Using Spa Inks and stamps and dies from the Candy Cane Lane collection (from last year) You can see I used the same design,.
Hubby has arrived safely down south and today went for a warm up walk around Lake Hayes. He sent me this photo today that he took while they were out on the walk
Stunning scenery.
