I believe this is the most challenges I've ever been able to incorporate into one card. How exciting! I'm loving this Dare To Get Dirty Week! Here's the rundown:
DTGD11Chupa - sketch challenge
DTGD11Jeanne S - Christmas or winter holiday card
DTGD11TruCarMa - hand-stitching
DTGD11TexasGrammy - paper piercing
DTGD11JanTInk - I used the Snowflakes embossing folder and the Paisley Backgrounder stamp
DTGD11gbedwright - I wished for a shorter name
S = Spellbinders Nesties, sentiment, seam binding, sponging
H = hand-stitching, "Holiday Hugs" from Hero Arts
E = embossing folder, Elegant Eggplant card stock
L = lavender paper
L = lights on tree, leggings on girl
I = iridescent paper (the lavender paper shimmers in person)
E = embroidery floss
