I finally made all 5 cards for CCAYR and this was difficult for me since I rarely work with patterend paper...I know...I am a freak!:) The first card i combines it with Simon says and The Stampman Challenge because each had a bingo card recipe and it seemed to fit all together so i hope this works for the challenges since I combined them. I used a nestibilities cut out of a poinsettia to make a flower and used 2 different patterned papers for that. I also used glitter paper for the swirlies and brads and glitter which I love always. The squirrel card does have 2 patterned papers but they were from the same bag, sort of speak, so I combined them. I stamped the squirrel and coloured them with tombows for a little definition. The 3rd card I love that patterned paper and didn't want to cover it up much because of the birdie and cage. I used a strip from another patterned paper near the top and then I placed "Merry Christmas" from my peel offs which I almost always use. The last card has the fun snowmen. The stamped image was painted slightly to reflect the same colours in the background snowmen and then I used a tacky sheer double paste to cover the snowman so I could use my ultra fine glitter to cover him with. I hope that made sense. I can not believe I am in the top 10 for make It Monday either-Wowzers! I am usually in the 200's:) Everyone have a great day!
