Couple Challenges

I made a second wreath card using teal, silver, white and gray.  This time I specifically made it for Color Hues #122.  I like teal, but can't say I use it that often.  Considering this is one of my favorite cards, that may change!

I die cut a TH wreath from gray cardstock.  The little poinsettias were die cut from teal cardstock and the holly leaves from Your Paper Insider non-shedding silver glitter cardstock.  The PFS bow was die cut from the same.  All the teal cardstock pieces, including the mat, were covered with Turquoise Stickles.  The sparkle is absolutely gorgeous in person!  You can get an idea from my IG post.  I used an old TH brick embossing folder for the background.  The sentiment from PFS Folk Snowflake was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist.  Love using this sentiment on the outside of a card and Merry Christmas on the inside.  

Next is my entry for Altenew's November Inspiration Challenge.  This is one of those cards that was completed over several days. 

I knew I wanted to use the Delicate Magnolia die set for the first time, so I started by inking 3 blooms using Altenew Baby Pink, Fuchsia and Magenta.  I added Stickles to the centers for a touch of sparkle.  I looked through lots of leaf dies and finally decided to use the leafy branch from Sweet Bouquet inked with Altenew Firefly and Grass Field.  I die cut Altenew Branches and Berries from white cardstock and ended up using all but one.  Love what they add to my bouquet which is mounted to a panel inked with Baby Pink.  I've certainly got my money's worth from Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips die set.  I cut Happy Birthday from white and from black cardstock.  Decided for this card it looked best to use the black one backed with white.  I'm also entering SSS Wednesday and WAW.
