#180 Animal and Tree

 

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2026. Today at Sparkles Christmas Challenges we begin a new challenge. Billie A has chosen #180 Animal and Tree. To see the remainder of the design team's inspiration, please visit the blog. 

I began with a simple plain white 6" card. I first added a silver Mirri background, which I also added to two panel sections of paper. All papers and the lovely image of a forest, snow and two polar bears are from Dreamees Ltd. To embellish I added a number of crystal jewels.  I hope you enjoy the challenge, you have the whole month of January to enter your project, we look forward to seeing your creation. 

#115 Pearly Sparkles - Use Patterned Paper

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 Hello, welcome to my blog. Today being the 1st January we begin a new challenge at Pearly Sparkles. Carol has chosen #115 Use Patterned Paper. to see the design team's inspiration, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white 7 x 5 inches card. I covered the front with a sheet of pretty flowered paper, leaving a small edge of the base showing. I added a paper strip where the paper ended. I matted a small design to the background paper and added it to the left side of the card. all the papers and image came from a Hunkydory Picture Perfect paper pad, Art Deco Paradise.I added blue gems. Finally I added a Hunkdory die sentiment, 'You Brighten my day'.
