Non-Traditional Christmas Colors with Dilly Beans

Greetings! I have a new Dilly Beans challenge to share with you today. This week, we are challenging you to use non-traditional colors for Christmas. Think hot pink, purple, lime green, and turquoise. Heres my creation.

The image is Snowmen Frame #516. Aren't they cute? I made this card for my sister for her Birthday, which was last month (yes, I gave it to her on time). She loves snowmen, so as soon as I got this image, I knew I needed to use it for her.

I colored these guys with watercolors. I really enjoyed painting them.

I used some fabulous Ice Stickles and a great big bow. So? Are you up for the challenge? I think you are! So get going! But first, please be sure to visit the rest of the Dilly Beans DT over at the Challenge Blog. Tanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Standing in the Clouds with ADfD

Hello! I have a new card with a lovely image from A Day for Daisies to share with you today. The digi is called Standing in the Clouds.

I colored this beauty with Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Here's a close up.

My background was created with the Piasso Stencil from Dreamweaver (available from Stampendous), White VersaColor Ink (from Imagine), a sponge dauber, and Detail White Embossing Enamel. Then I sprayed the background with Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Frost. You'll see that better in the photo below. The entire background looks frosty. My sentiment is from the Soaring Sentiments set. I edged it and my card base with Bahama Blue and Danube Blue Memento Ink, which really matched her jacket perfectly.

See the pretty shimmer? I love the Sheer Shimmer Spritzes, and I encourage you to give them a try. I'll have another project for A Day for Daises soon, and our February challenge will be posted on Friday. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
