The Neon challenge at
Merry Monday caught my eye. I definitely do not tend to bright colors, but neon paper on kraft can be a great look! Then the mailman brought my new
WPlus9 this week. Even though I needed more snowflake dies like a hole in the head, I got them - but in my defense they matched the snowflake background stamps which I had to have (but I've only used the dies on this card). Finally I was thrilled to see that
retrosketches announced a totally up-to-date archive. I love archives - I keep them as a direct icon on my iPad so with one touch, I can see all of the challenges in one place. I picked sketch #47 for my snowflakes.
- Stamps: none
- Paper: Astrobrights Glow Cardstock, Papertrey Kraft and Vellum
- Ink: Versamark
- Accessories: WPlus9 Snowflake Trio die, Hand Lettered Holiday die, Stampin' Up Heat 'n Stick Powder, Martha Stewart Fine Crystal glitter, Pretty Pink Posh 6mm Sparkling Clear Sequins

ReplyDeleteJust waiting for my husband to get ready before we head off from a weekend of family visiting, and what better place to keep my spirits up (at least until we're in the car), than a visit at your site. Your gorgeous neon Christmas card is working magic at making me smile. Brilliant combination, beautiful images AND yes, no limits on the number of snowflake dies needed (rather like butterflies!).
