Such a fashionable site for the Inspiration Challenge! After much browsing, I went w/ THIS simple green & white dress. 

After I made last week’s Stained Glass Christmas card, I had the inside of the window frame left over so that’s the part I used for this card. And I added a similar fussy cut greeting & put a piece of white glitter paper behind it. I used an embossing folder on the white layer to dress it up then added the colored & fussy cut greeting. This would also be perfect for those cards you didn’t have time to send before Christmas. Or change the inside greeting to a Thank You when sending those thanks for the presents cards.  

Here’s the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Melody, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! She has such a wonderful gallery & she’s such a sweet lady! I chose THIS to case. I kept the stained glass window but used different images & dies & made mine a Christmas card.

I first stamped & colored the candles at the bottom, then I dropped pools of rubbing alcohol on the top & added drops of Copic refills in blues & lavenders. I let the colors pool & mingle but kept them mostly away from the candles by not wetting that area. Then I added the arched window frame & stamped, colored & fussy cut the holly greeting oval.  Here’s a look at the inside & also the Copics I used.

A wonderful site for the Inspiration Challenge! There were many I loved but I was really drawn to THIS. I love the white snowflakes on the deep red background.

My card was pretty easy..I started by white embossing the snowflake onto red card stock then I sponged around the edges w/ Distress inks in various dark reds & finally a little black on the very edges.

I also used the Reverse Snowflake die to die cut some white snowflakes & popped them up a little on top. 

Here’s a look at the inside.
