Hello, my friends and Happy Sunday. I'm just a little behind the time getting this card posted. It's been a busy day with church and then trying to finish up decorating my Christmas tree and my house. It's about as done as it's going to get. I have items that didn't find a spot on the tree or any table, shelf, or cabinet. Where did all this stuff come from? I haven't purchased anything new in years although I did buy a new tree in 2020 so I could put more of my decorations on it and still not enough room. This is as big as it's going to get though - 6 feet since I have to put it up and take it down myself. I hope you are enjoying this wonderful season of the year when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. I'm so thankful for His choice to come down here and set the example for us as to how we should live - with kindness and love for all.
So, here is my card for International At & Soul, challenge no. 123. This is the last challenge for the year and it will run for the whole month of December. This gives those of us on the Design Team time to spend with our families for the holiday. Our theme for this challenge is to use Dies and Punches which was chosen by yours truly. I think you can have lots of fun with this one.
I'm sorry about the color of this. The photo does not do it justice at all. I even redid it after submitting it for the Design Team. This was used with Heartfelt Creations products including:
- Burst of Spring collection
- Cheery Pansy Die
- Cheery Pansy cling stamp set
- Eyelet Royale Die
- Ticket and Ties Die
- Cheerful Note Sentiments cling stamp set
- Flower and leaves shaping molds
- Rajni Chawla's cyrstal clear glitter and Heart of Gold prills
- Inks and sponge daubers
Sorry I didn't make note of what colors I used from Stampin Up to color the pansies.
That's it for this card. I hope that you'll hop on over to the IAS challenge website to see what the rest of the Design Team has created for you. We have some talented ladies with all different mediums. I love to see the different things everyone creates. You could be the winner or one of the Top 3. Remember, you have the whole month of December to play. Hope to see you there and have a very Merry Christmas.
Beautiful card, Maggie - I really like that pansy!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Maggie. Love the gorgeous dies and beautiful coloring!
ReplyDeleteI see you've been taking some time off, too. I hope you've enjoyed it and had a nice holiday. Beautiful card today with the Heartfelt pansies. You used them expertly and I know how gorgeous your cards are in person because I'm looking at one of them right now. The Christmas card you sent with the poinsettias and gold die cut is stunning! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and for sticking with me through my own absence. Happy new year!
