Good Morning and Happy Thursday to all!! Another day has begun...I woke up early this a.m. thinking that all I have to accomplish and to the sound of very loud howling winds. It is very chilly and a blustery day for sure. A few weeks ago, it was hard to believe it was November since the weather was so mild, let me tell you winter sure has come in with a vengeance now! It is 17 degrees now.
Today I want to share with you a Christmas card I created for the Divine Diva challenge. Lori sent the team this picture of soap for our inspiration. Isn't it so festive?! I used the colors and design as my starting point and came up with this. I used the Peaceful wishes and Cardinal set from Stampin Up. The paper is Taken With Teal. I embossed the pine branches in white. The white panel is dry embossed with the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder. My image was water colored, colored and popped up on dimensionals. What do you think? Does it match the soap?
I incorporated these challenges on this creation.
Our Creative Corner Challenge: Christmas theme.
Stampin Sisters In Christ:
My challenge to you is to get out your crafting *treasures* and use on your cards or other projects this week, in other words BLING IT UP (ie. charms, gems, pearls, dazzling diamonds, flowers, etc).
Creative Card Crew- Anything GoesSimon Says- Christmas

Hope you are inspired to come and play along. Just leave a comment here with a link to your card. We can't wait to see what you create! The keyword for uploading on SCS will be DDIC18. Have fun!!
This card certainly reminds me how behind I am on my holiday preparations as well as my commenting. Doing a balance is so hard at this time of year.
I hope to stop at all your blogs later. Today is a holiday party for my little preschoolers at Little Lambs...so I will be here after that...Thanks for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

I love the white branches stamped on the dark cardstock! What a lovely contrast! The cardinal is just perfectly colored! What a beautiful card designed after a bar of soap!
No need to worry about commenting........we're all busy bees at this time of year, and it will all be over soon enough :)

This is just gorgeous, Chris, and you captured the look and feel of the Divine Diva inspiration piece perfectly. So...this card incorporates 7 different challenges? Is that a world's record or something? Wow!

Chris: Such a pretty card and you matched the soap label perfectly in design and colour. I did a couple of christmas cards with cardinals and same colours back in October. Do they qualify for this challenge? Here's the link:
