Today is Saturday and that means another fun Challenge with Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition.This challenge is for our subscribers to participate in and earn a chance to win one of two $75 gift certificates or one of two free subscriptions to the next Edition of Create with Connie and Mary. This week the focus has been on using A Cute Christmas, Merry Crittermas, Builder Wheels, Candy Cane Rub-ons and/or the Candy Cane Christmas Decor Elements. For my project I decided to use A Cute Christmas so I thought it would be only fitting to also use it for my challenge card :)
This week is a colour challenge. The colours are Garden Green, Blushing Bride, Real Red and Baja Breeze. All these colours can be found in the fun and whimsical Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper.
The snowman in this set is just adorable so I thought the card would be even cuter if I had three snowmen! I started with a Garden Green base then added a strip of the the striped pattern from the Candy Cane Christmas DSP. I then punched out a decorative edge with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and Real Red Card stock. For my Blushing Bride panel I embossed it with the Perfect Polka dots Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. Using Jet Black Staz On I stamped the snowman image three times and coloured him in using markers.
I then used my Two Way Glue pen and Dazzling Diamond glitter to add some sparkle along the snowline under the snowmen. Of course you can never have too much bling so I punched out two Decorative Labels and added some Rhinestone Jewels. I also added a Garden Green Button and some Marina Mist 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White punched out then layer on apiece of Baja Breeze.
