Two Cards

Challenges are about to close, so thought I'd post the 2 cards I made in one post.
First is my card for City Crafter Challenge Blog & One Layer Christmas Card Challenge.  I stamped my old DeNami tree in white pigment ink & embossed with a very old powder that is white with silver sparkles.  The Stampendous! sentiment is white embossed.  I mixed embossing paste with Memento Northern Pine & used it with the SSS Falling Snow stencil.  

Next is my card for MFT Color Challenge & The Paper Players.  
Two sizes of MFT leaves are die cut from brown, orange & yellow cardstock scraps as close as I could get to the colors. I brushed them with clear Wink of Stella for a pretty shimmer. The MFT sentiment is white embossed on a blue panel--again, close as I have to the color. This is my first time to use the little PPP Marshmallow sequins--pretty sweet.

Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.

    You really rocked these one-layer cards (which I find really difficult). Love that leaf die.

    Your snowy scene is so pretty and I love the tree. Your fall card with the leaves is also a great one. I like the way the leaves are arranged down the side.

    I am a bit late due to the difference in time zones we live in. And I work full time; that's why I am here now. Not a matter of interest but only a matter of time. And your tree card is lovely! A fab take on our theme. And the leaf card is stunning with leafs in various colors. Thanks so much for being with us again at CCCB. Good to see you!

    Your tree looks resplendent in the wintry wonderland you've created for it. The delicate leaves, set against the blue, are lovely! You've covered two of my favourite seasons beautifully!
