I have had a few sympathy cards to send out recently, which makes me sad, but I hope they help my friend smile when she gets this one. I started with a Premium Polar white panel die cut with the Kindness Cards Confetti Cuts and then I embossed the pine boughs from Christmas Candle in silver. I decided to added some white sequins to the berries. I 

You can see the shimmer of the silver embossing powder in this photo. I stamped the sentiment from Tall Blooms onto a strip of vellum and embossed that as well. I added a sweet little white snowflake from Snowflake Trio because I felt like it needed something. The background paper is from the Abundant Autumn 6x6 paper pad.

Stock Your Stash/ Sparkling Holiday

 November is coming to a close and that means there is just a little more time to get in your cards for the Stock Your Stash Challenge over on the RC Blog. This month's challenge theme is Holiday/Winter. I created a rainbow holiday card today. 

I have been loving all the rainbow themed holiday cards, specifically the Christmas tree ones, all over Social Media. So I had to make one of my own. I used the sweet little trees from the Bearing Gifts stamp set. I stamped them in Midnight ink and then added a rainbow of Distress inks to color them up. 

I gave it a snowy background with the Snowballs Cover Panel in Premium Polar White over a Mist card base.

 I heat embossed the sentiment from the Triangle Trees. I love a crisp white embossed sentiment on Midnight card stock cut from the banner from Greetings Frame Confetti Cuts. I added a touch of sparkle with a clear sequin on each of the trees. 

There will be a new Stock Your Stash challenge posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

The sketch link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 29th of the month. Click the "Play Along..." button on our sidebar to go current link list post.

It's a busy holiday week for many of us, but hopefully you'll find some time to take a creative break and play along with us! 

I had different plans for this card, but when I couldn't locate a die for the snowflake I was going to to create as a focal point, I switched gears and colored up the adorable snowman from the Cool Friend stamp set. I did some quick water coloring with my Zig Clean Color Brush markers and used the Cool Friend Confetti Cuts to cut him out.  In the background I stamped the solid snowflakes in Sand from Snowflake Magic. 

I framed it all up with the Scalloped Squares Confetti Cuts in Dark Roast card stock. I added some clear tiny sequins and a splattering of white mist by Studio Calico. 

I had some fun with these colors and using  them on this  unexpected wintry card with.
Oh, and don't forget.....Reverse Confetti has a great Black Friday Sale running for you. Happy Shopping!
