Muse #47 and two surprise cards

One more post today - I saw the Muse challenge a few days ago and the card by Therese Clavird is just soooo fun and CAS-tastic I had to play! 


It just makes me smile :)

Of course I can't just copy it, although I really would like to do just that..... so I took some free interpretation here and turned it into a Christmas card:


I basically just went with the underlaid die-cut with different papers, got the horizontal line with the silver thread and the stars. To leave the card just on a white background looked kind of bland, so I cut some strips of the tree paper and glued it to the sides of the card turning the ombre patttern around, to give it more life.


Well, I like it, it looks quite elegant and I really like the sparkle from the glitter paper. 

Materials: Papertrey Christmas tree die, sentiment by Impression Obsession, small stars -  Simon Says dies

And here I want to share a card with you that I got from my blog friend Eva - one of the winners of my blog candy as a thank you card - it is a dream in blue - such a gorgeous wintry scene!


Thank you Eva!

And this beauty I got from my blogging friend Kim - such an unexpected surprise! The abstract trees sparkle and the background is so pretty!


Thank you Kim!


Thanks you so much for visiting and lovely comments - you make my day, I so much appreciate you taking your time to do that!

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
