Lots of Challenges


This card was made for several challenge. It started with the ICS sketch and challenge to make a Christmas card. I combined this with the Caardvarks challenge to make a winter card and the Pile it On challenge to use no patterned paper. Finally since I wasn't going to use patterned paper I knew I'd be pulling out the stamps so I incorporated the Stamp Something use a charm challenge. I loved the challenge of using no patterned paper and had fun making the snowflake design for my card. My charm is the fun plastic ornament that I got in a swap. I've been in a bit of a funk and this card got me going again. I love when a challenge is not only a bit difficult but also really inspiring and that's what I got when I combined all these fun challenges.

    You fit more challenges into one card than I thought was possible! haha. I like the snowflake design that you made. I'd have thought it was patterned paper if you hadn't told us otherwise.
