I love these colors, and I love this digi from All Dressed Up! The digi is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/202532461/3-little-christmas-girls?ref=shop_home_active_5">3 Little Christmas Girls</a> and when you buy the digi, you get the three girls together as well as each girl separately - fantastic!! I wanted to focus on this sweet character, so I went for a CAS card and made her large so I could spend time coloring.</center>

It's been WAY too long since I colored just for fun. Today, I found some time and decided to get a start on a Christmas card. I had seen the Make It Crafty challenge on Facebook and found a bunch of MIC images that I think I printed LAST Christmas. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Here's my just for fun Christmas card. I've been working on blending after finishing the Kit and Clowder clothing class. I'm really happy with the way the "white" turned out, especially on the scroll.</center>

I love the digis from A Day for Daisies. When I saw the CIC theme this week was tags, I knew I wanted to make a Christmas card, and this sweet boy fit the bill exactly. I went for a CAS card with some old Christmas paper, and a vellum sticker I've had lying around for years.</center>

Here's my card featuring Octavia from Polkadoodles. I was inspired by <a href="http://passionatepapercreations.blogspot.com/2015/03/octavia-moonfly-polkadoodles-with-by.html">this card from Passionate Paper Creations</a>. I loved the colors that she used and the little butterflies. I added some ribbon from May Arts, which I thought was perfect for this garden card.</center>

I was wondering through Target the other day when I found this super-cute punch that has a mustache and bowtie. I thought it would be perfect for these fantastic metallic papers. I punched one set out of the silver and gold and then mixed and matched. Hubby really liked the one with the silver mustache.</center>

I tried something out of the norm for me. I made a tag using a Winnie and Walter cutaway and then decorated it with some stamps that I found in my random stamp box. I added some washi tape to a Core'dinations card blank. The arrows put emphasis on the sentiment, which we all need to do sometimes.</center>

I've been into CAS cards recently. I thought this sweet bunny from My Grafico would be perfect for a CAS card. I colored her with Copics and added glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle. I stamped a sentiment that I had in my stash and added a few sequins because I'm loving sequins right now. I think the sequins are perfect for the confetti challenge.</div>

I'm back with another fun confetti post for the <b><a href="http://cupcakeinspirations.blogspot.co.uk/">Cupcake Inspirations 300th challenge</a></b>! </div>

When I saw this cute little bunny at Oddball Art, I knew that I needed to use it. As I was waiting for the image to arrive, I watched the <a href="http://www.donnadowney.com/online-workshops/inspiration-wednesday-2015-membership.html">2.18.15 Inspiration Wednesday</a> video and it all started to come together. The idea of the Velveteen Rabbit came to me so I printed out two copies of a passage from the book. I printed out several sizes of the kawaii bunny and made two of them into tags with a die from Winnie and Walter. I added glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle to the big bunny's heart and the little bunnies ears and tummy. Then, I pretty much followed Donna's steps with different colors and and stencils. I think the hearts look like confetti thrown out. I love the way it turned out!</div>

I learned a new technique at an open house at my local stamp shop. You take embossing paste, mix it with ink, and you can make it look like frosting. With this one, I added pink flocking. I was inspired by <a href="http://blog.averyelle.com/2013/05/wishes-chevrons-air-mail-more.html">this card</a> that I found on Pinterest. I had leftover embossing paste, so I made a matching gift tag.</center>

I love the whimsical images from A Day For Daisies and this Fairy Flower Party is perfect to celebrate our 300th challenge. I colored the image with Copics and added a little Swan Wing glitter to the wings. I love the way it makes them look feathered.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my second card for <b><a href="http://cupcakeinspirations.blogspot.co.uk/">Cupcake Inspiration's 300th Challenge</a></b> color challenge. I'm loving these fresh colors. I used a embossing paste and ink to create the dimensional frosting. I was inspired by <a href="http://blog.averyelle.com/2013/05/loads-of-inspiration.html">this card</a> that I found on Pinterest. I love the sequins! I had enough "frosting" left over that I created a matching gift tag.</div>
