Hanna Stamps - "Krist's Favorite Color" Challenge

I created this card in 25 mins! You see here's the story....I wanted to participate in the Hanna Stamps Challenge at SCS on 1/25 and I misunderstood the challenge. I thought you had to make the card and post it by the end of the party....Boy was I wrong...I could have taken my time and posted it a few days later. Anyway....this is the first challenge I have ever participated in. The challenge was to use Kristi's Favorite Colors (since it was her birthday). The colors were: gray, teal, and pink....This is what I came up with.....I have to say I'm impressed with myself for doing all of this in 25 mins! LOL

More Xmas Cards

Here is another one of the christmas cards I made this year for giving out. This was my first attempt at punching out a window card. The picture doesn't show it very well but the tree is on the inside of the card. I don't have a square punch, so I just used my tag punch on the top and bottom of the Old Olive card and then cut out the section inbetween. I really liked the way this card turned out.

Stamps: Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set, Weathered Background Stamp

Ink: Old Olive Classic Ink

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White

Accessories: Versamark, Gold Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Powder Pal, Embossing Buddy, Tag Punch, White organdy ribbon (not from Stampin' Up!)
