November Beautiful Blossoms Challenge : Filled With Love & Laughter

 Welcome back Beautiful Blossom Friends! It's time for another fun, monthly Blossom Challenge! So let's get to it!

This month, our challenge photo is :

Quite colorful, offering many opportunities and inspirational ideas to create a card from. Sometimes the more colors or ideas offered it can be overwhelming. Sometimes just focusing on one color, texture, or element is a great place to start. 
I stamped out an image from a long, long since retired stamp from Flourishes and colored it in with Copics, then cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo 4. To create my base, I cut out some cream cardstock and used MFT Scalloped Squares, placed some sticky foam under that and placed that over Pink Fresh's Diagonal Stitched Squares cardstock in Rusty Red, from a C'Ordinations cardstock book of paper. I placed more sticky foam under the Rusty Red cardstock, and attached it to my card base. I used a fancy cream colored doily from a local scrapbook store, a sentiment from Pink Fresh called Foiled sentiments, and champagne gems to add some sparkle and pizzaz, to finish my card.

Thank you for stopping by and joining the team, we love to see you and your creative submissions to our monthly challenges! See you next month!

November Classic Design Challenge : Christmas Joy

 Hello and Happy November Friends! It's that time again! It's the 15th and the Classic Design Team is featuring Polkadoodles images this month!! So cute!

I chose Elvis Wesley Moose - Sparkly Baubles. He's so cute!!

I colored Elvis in with a combination of Copics and Altenew alcohol Markers. Then cut out the image using MFT Double Stitched Square dies. I matted that onto Bazzil's "Brick" cardstock, and matted that over some red and white flannel/gingham design paper that I had, matted over more Brick cardstock. I used a maroon red silk ribbon, a silver snowflake diecut, and a silver pearl for embellishments. The sentiment came from a Mintay Papers chipboard sayings.

I love getting to try new digi stamp images every month and I love seeing what you all create under the monthly challenge! Happy creating and I'll see you next month with another challenge sample! :)
