Surprise Sweetie

Happy Sunday! It's a gray day here although we haven't had any rain today. We had 2 inches of rain over the last 2 days. It's chilly but not enough to freeze. Today I have the pleasure of being the Surprise Sweetie over at {Cupcake Inspirations} challenge. This week's challenge is a color challenge: gold, midnight and aquamarine.

Here's my card:

No stamps on this card. These are all dies from Paper Smooches. Snowflakes and a Merry Christmas die. The background is a gold lame film paper. It was difficult to work with. The blue is left over scraps from my daughter's wedding. Some of the snowflakes and the Merry Christmas is popped up with fun foam (a technique I learned from Jennifer McGuire). A pretty simple card but a tough card to work with. It took me a lot of time to get everything lined up perfectly. Thank you to the design team over at {Cupcake Inspirations} challenge for picking me as this week's Surprise Sweetie!

I am entering these challenges:

• Beccy's Place: use something new: all the dies from Paper Smooches
• Paper Smooches November challenge: use gold
• November Rudolph Days: Christmas anything goes
• Hiding in My Craft Room: any holiday
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Crafty Hazelnut Extra November challenge: anything Christmas
• Crafty Hazelnut challenge 257: use punches or die cuts

Hope your Sunday is relaxing and crafty. Thanks for stopping by. Hope your week will get off to a great start.
