PreVSN challenge...

I decided this morning I would try out a preVSN challenge before the kids get up to go to school. Wanted to get my creative juices flowin... This is challenge SEP07VSNPre4. It can be found here. I decided to go with a selection of earth elements colors.



The idea was to take fall colors and create a Christmas card. I had fun with it. I also used the tutorial Beate shared with everyone on Wednesday over on SplitCoastStampers. It can be found here.



Supplies for this card can be found here



Here is a close up of my insert card. I even used a dollar Micheal's stamp on it. I tried so hard to use only current Stampin Up supplies but I failed... Oh well I will have to try another card challenge latter.

Something new....

I learned something new today.... Thank you Dawn for sending me the diagram to do french knots. I wanted to learn to do them on some cards I have ideas for... mainly the new Bellas. Don't you think she looks cute....



Now for the card... I used whisper white cardstock, and chocolate chip cardstock. I found 1/8 of an inch ribbon at Micheal's today for only .33... perfect for the roses the bella is holding in her basket. I colored her in with my watercolor wonder crayons. The sentiment is a $1 stamp from Micheal's that I stamped with chocolate chip ink. It is a very simple card but looks so cool.
