I have 2 cards to share today. For my first card, I used the sketch from this week’s challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch by Joni Andaya, and the inspiration photo for this week’s Festive Friday Challenge. I used glitter paper to reflect all the sparkle and shine in the silver and gold ornaments in the photo.
Here is a close up of the sparkle in the snowflake:
My 2nd card is also for 3 challenges:
- CASology. Our Cue Card is “And", so I chose my stencil with an ampersand to provide a focal point for my card. I was really inspired by the 'Uber Talented' Kimberly Weiner, who created an ombre effect with her ampersand.
