First cut the Funky Snowflake and used the snowflake outlines to make a background. I used Nuvo paste in blue to fill in the empty snowflake holes. Then added the cut out snowflake and put it on top of the Nuvo background. And a Hero Arts sentiment on top of it.

For this card I used the Simon Says Stamp “Just a Note Pansy” stamp. This is my second entry in the May SSSFlickrchallenge.

Playing with pastels for SSSFlickrchallenge#26. Using the I Love Donuts stamp set and the Sentiments of You stamp set. Colored with my Zig markers and topped off with Glossy Accents.

This tag was inspired by Sue Symens on day 2 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags. I started with a Simon Says Stamp large tags die. I used images from Essentials by Ellen. I have a few cat stamps and I always shy away from using them because I never know how to color them! But in honor of Kathy Rac's color challenge, and SSSFlickrChallenge#136, I gave it a whirl. I might have copied Kristina Werner's cats :). Finished it with a sentiment from Newton's Nook.

I've been in a crafting funk recently, but the Tags Challenge has been a fun jump start. I dug out my bin of Christmas/winter stamps and dies and have been enjoying mixing lots of different companies.
