Christmas & Sparkle

 

There are two very exciting challenges going on this week over at FCCB and BBTB2, and because I am a member of both of the DT's, I decided I wanted to combine them and create one card because they both relate to each other - in a way :)

FCCB's challenge is Sparkle and Bling while BBTB2's challenge is all about Christmas Cards.  I can't help but think of sparkle and Christmas at the same time!  So that is why I thought this card was so perfect for both challenges!

I also wanted to use the Art Philosophy Overlay feature and when I saw the snowflakes, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to encorporate on my card.  I have this awesome glitter/sparkle paper from DCWV Twinkle stack and it cut like butter!  I was actually shocked because the cut is so intricate, but I slowed the speed down on my Cricut, and it cut beautifully.  I also cut my green and pink glitter snowflakes from Art Philosophy, one at 2" and one at 1 1/2".  My sentiment is from a Hero Arts Christmas stamp set.  I used some foam tape to pop up the silver snowflake overlay and my sentiment strip is tacked down on my green ribbon with some tape runner and glue dots.  I used my Zig 2 way pen for the colored snowflakes.  I LOVE these colors together for Christmas and was very excited with how this card turned out!  So you don't have to combine a card like I did, but I hope that you will join both of the challenges going on this week at these two awesome challenge blogs!  I am going to link this card up over at Paper Playtime for their Anything Goes Challenge as well.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
