I was so excited when I was watching Mary's video from www.cardztv.blogspot.com on YouTube and found out Paper Playtime http://www.paperplaytime.blogspot.com/ was having a challenge using polka dots and a sentiment. I was so excited because two of the cards that I made this weekend fit in this challenge -- so why not enter and join in on the fun. The winner of the challenge receives a Close to My Heart "Chalkboard Special Kit".
Well here are my cards for this challenge. The first card I used the Cricut Sentimentals cart to cut out the owl and Elegant Edges for the scallop shape. The polka dots on this card came from the DCWV Linen Closet Stack. My second card with the little snowman was a super simple card. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss snow flakes on a sparkly blue paper. My snowman and sentiment stamps are from Fiskars "Tis the Season" stamp set. The polka dots came from DCWV Stack 7.
Thanks for taking a look! See you later,
Jennie
Jennie, both of these cards are great! Love the owl with the scallop image matting; and love the snowman with the snowflake embossed background. Great job! Thanks for playing with us at Paper Playtime. :) Janis
ReplyDeleteJennie, both your cards are lovely. I have to be honest, I have always thought that owl was a little strange, but I see now, I was wrong! Your beautiful paper and color choices have made it beautiful - I will have to give that cut a second chance... Thanks for playing with us this week at Paper Playtime :) Hope to see you again soon.

Michelle, Thank you for your kinds words. I agree that I wasn't so sure about that owl either, but think he turned out pretty good in the end. :-)
