A little white space and a Midas Touch. I thought I would try to tackle two challenges with one card again. I think I might just have pulled it off.

The first challenge is for 365 Card Challenge-Day 183- White Space, this is the sketch, I think the title tells the tale :).


The second Challenge is for Jingle Belles, see next paragraph for details.

"The challenge direction this week involves a decidedly limited-and gloriously metallic-color palette, since everything king midas touched turned immediately into gold. to widen the possibilities just a little further, we're stretching the point, and asking you to make your holiday cards from gold AND/OR silver, and we'll allow the addition of white AND/OR cream."

I know I did not make the card from Gold or Silver, but I did use Gold so I might disqualify myself but I though I would go for it anyway. And as I go to post to the Jingle Belles site, I see I missed the deadline... karma for not enough Gold maybe.....


I embossed the card base then I used my Poinsettia Spellbinders to make multiple flowers, I also embossed them with my poinsettia embossing folder, I stamped Seasons Greeting on a circle, added a little gold dove. I finished with some Gold and Holly Stickles.

Supplies: Kraft and red cardstock, Designer Paper-Penny Black, American Crafts-Merry Mint, Hot of the Press- Tiny Words and Images, Spellbinders-Nestabilites, Sizzix- Poinsettia Embossing folder, Misc circle punches, Stickles.
Cheers,
Nina
