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.

For my Thanksgiving Wreath card, I stamped the wreath w/ the cocoa ink & colored w/ Copics before die cutting it w/ a stitched circle die. The brown window frame was die cut as well as a piece of patterned paper. The greeting was added to a couple of stacked ribbon tags & I also used a dk brown Copic to color the ribbon (it was white). I had some multi color leaves that were from the Reverse Leaf die left over from another project so I added those, too. This is also for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC672) & THIS was my inspiration.

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

A big congrats to Carol, the newest Featured Stamper (FS577) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & curvy border but I used different images, different colors & made mine a St. Patrick’s Day card.

For my Shenanigans Wreath, after stamping & coloring the Shamrock Circle, I stamped the Good Luck Circle inside, colored it & die cut it w/ a circle die. I didn’t want all the white space left on the inside of the wreath, so I fussy cut it & added a marigold layer behind it.  

The lower edge was die cut & more of marigold added under it. On the cut off part, I stamped the Silhouette Shamrock Field  w/ the lt green ink & added just bit more darker green inside the petals. I added some wink of Stella on the wreath & it’s nice & sparkly in real life!
