I turned the sketch upside down so that I could use the Hello die. This comes from a gift I received with a purchase during the remodel. The additional word die which is included is beautiful in a beautiful script. The simplicity of the sketch makes for an elegant card which is easily mailable.

This week's Color Throwdown paired plum, olive and rust. No trouble with the plum and olive as the "Flashy Florals" card kit from MFT was my introduction to this beautiful Pure Plum color. The rust proved a little difficult but then I thought of the distress ink, Rusty Hinges. The card came together and I just love the combination. Will definitely keep this combo for other uses.

This was a hard one. I could get one part I liked but then the other didn't fit. My husband said it reminded him of an award, so we tried that as well. I came back to old faithful, using the tree from Santa's elves. Love it.

Since I was finished with Halloween cards, I thought that I would do a flower, but I was putting away some card kits and came across my butterflies. I love the way the layered stamping makes them look so real (if there were purple butterflies). I added some Wink of Stella to make them glitter.

This was a fun challenge. My row called for wood, die cut and twine. I fudged a little on the twine by cutting thin strips of paper instead so that it would lay flat. Lots of die cuts, though!

I have been making Christmas Cards so when I saw the star theme, I naturally thought of the bible verses which tell of the stars on the first Christmas.

I love silver and dark blue together. When I saw this sketch, I thought of a night sky on Christmas Eve. I wanted to keep it simple and this turned out just as I had planned.
