I made this card for the color challenge and chose the HYCCT1416 challenge as my guideline...no stamping allowed. I didn't have any dp available (that I liked) with these challenge colors so, I made my own! The right panel was blended with evergreen bough. I then made a stencil for the center using the EK punch. I used temp tape, affixed it up the center and applied the molding paste. (First time with this technique!). I made the plaid panel on the left by masking with paper strips and sponging. A crumb cake SU marker was used for the fine lines. What fun!!

How adorable this turned out with that cute plaid and the die cuts. Making a card without stamping is a challenge but you have certainly pulled it off and got in the colors too. So Nice!

Shut up! You made that dp (which is awesome all on its own because my plaids never turn out that well) without any stamping?! That is just astounding! WELL DONE! Love the textured border, too! Great, great card!

Oh, my! This card is spectacular. I can't believe you created the plaid panel--I thought it was DS paper. And your right panel with the embossing paste--so amazing. The bird and leaves are wonderful, too!
