I needed some paper therapy today & what a way to do it - multiple challenges! It took me all day yesterday to do 2 cards, I was a bit better today. I've mentioned b/f that we are losing our pooch to cancer. Heartbreaking for sure.
FS201 - this is for Lisa who is this weeks Featured Stamper. She is so deserving of this. I loved looking through her beautiful gallery. Lisa has left me some most appreciative comments. To honor her, I case'd her first card, Wlegant Notes, seen here: Elegant Notes by lisaadd at Splitcoaststampers
I kept pretty true to her layout, changing stamp sets, colors, leaving off the lines of pearls, no piercing & less layers.
IC261 - Bronner's Christmas World. I've been there & we dropped a ton of cash there!!!! I was inspired by this Santa ornament: http://www.bronners.com/product/sant...nament/1151388
I colored the holly w/ glitter gel pens & the hat w/ WCW crayon & blender pen. The ball on his hat is a Robbin's Nest pearl.
TLC303 - Sponging. I sponged clouds behind the trees. The center tree is clear embossed. I also sponged around some of the ef snowflakes & subtle sponging on the Flourishes sentiment.
Lisa, congratulations on being FS. I hope you like my version of your card.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Very pretty card and I really like the pearl on Santa's hat...nice touch. I'm glad you have card therapy to get you through this very difficult time with your dog. I really like your new avatar...hope you're enjoying the snow. It is so cold here in the South where I live..only in the 20's for highs for 2 days now. Snowed all day Sunday but the wind was blowing so hard, none stayed with us. I would love a lot of it...after Christmas.

I just love this card. The shadow of the trees behind the main one is a eye pleasing element. I love the embossing and that great Santa image as well. Superb card!

Sweet friend, still praying for your loving pooch, and for comfort and peace as well. Love that you had some time for paper therapy- it is beautiful. Hugs, big time.
