Use your stuff challenge

 

I made this card for the winter, snow, Christmas theme over on the Use Your Stuff challenge. I found this piece of cardstock that I had made earlier this summer that I had stamped this background pattern all over it.  It cut it into 4 pieces and used this one for today. I added this Unity girl on the front and I forgot to tag the company name for this sentiment stamp when I placed it in an organizing box.  I also addeed some tiny little rhinestones on some of the snowflakes and they are so small you can't see them int he photo. These are so tiny that I don't have to put extra postage on them for mailing, so I like that!

I went to load this card for the challenge and it was the first time I had ever gotten the message that the limit had uploaded its limited number. I guess I will have to get an earlier start on a Monday challenge. 

From the garden

 I am using this card for two CAS challenges this week and for the MIX 393 challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I grabbed up some older stamps I have not used in a while to make this card that follows the sketch challenge  for the CAS(e) this Sketch challenge, follows the theme of Nature for the CAS on Friday challenge, and the garden requirement for the mixed media challenge on Splitcoaststampers. 

CAS 593 and intaas#87

On Splitcoaststamper's CAS challenge this week the theme is luv bugs.  So I am using these little wooden ladybugs for embellisment. On the International art and soul challenge #87 the challenge is to use tiny things, so these little bugs worked well for that challenge as well. I stamped with distress oxide inks: crushed olive and mowed lawn. The sentiment is in versafine black. The leaves are from a retired SU set. This is my favorite "throw" down stamp when it comes to leaves. It is a handy size and works well with other stamps or stamps alone in repeated stamping as done on this card.
