I am so happy that this card fits 2 challenges, as I am time challenged at the moment due to hand feeding 5 puppies every 2 hours....but in doing that I have learn that I am totally addicted to these challenges...well, card making in general...I couldn't handle not being able to do the challenges, so no housework today until I have uploaded this one!!
This card was literally made in 5 minutes, it took longer for the glitter to dry than to make the card, the image is from a RAK from Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn) and friends. It is also very limited supplies....the one embellishment I used was the silver ribbon as hinges. I inked the edges of the CB panel and then dropped the ink pad on it as I was rushing...I liked the effect so did it a few more times....a bit of a snowing effect going on...and as you would all agree, it is definitely predominately blue!! Oh...the trees were chalked (in about 30 seconds flat!)
Thanks for looking and for your comments....I enjoy reading them....and I will find time for that - who needs to sleep anyway!

Lovely as a Tree! The BEST set ever! How beautifully done sister! Housework? How can you talk like that on SCS! For shame! Crafting lasts forever, housework about five minutes! Lol! I think you and the Buckle Man need to square off for speedy card making! So far, one has asked me to pinch him in his sleep, and another to remove one finger, to slow him down! I love how your turned your dropped ink pad into a beautiful creation. Just beautiful!
