Buttons and bows

Hello! Here's a limited supplies challenge (or motivational) card that I created for Paper Wings. The rules are:

Use two buttons
Make two bows

Those are the only two embellishments that you can use. You can use any designer paper and stamps on your project or card. Here is my example:

All supplies are from The Angel Company, except the DMC floss I used to tie a bow in the middle of the button on the sentiment flag.

I'd love to see what you come up with on this challenge! Have a great day!

Supplies:
Stamps - Wishing happiness, great greetings
Paper - Amberley Grace
Ribbon - organdy by TAC, tied with the Bow-Easy
Buttons - TAC - MM noteworthy Audrey collection
Card stock - TAC

Winter scene

Hi all! Here is my card for the winter card challenge and blog hop over at Paperwings.

I stamped the tree from TAC's Mountain Scenery onto white card stock in Jardin Moss, then stamped again to get the ghost look. The sky is daubered on with sky blue chalk ink and the falling snowflakes are done using the speckle stamp and white craft paint. I also added a little sparkle using my stardust gel pen to some of the snowflakes after the paint dried.

The oval is cut out and embossed using a nestabilities die. I added a thin layer of glue from the quickie glue pen and sprinkled some large white glitter particles around the perimeter. Then I sandwiched the two together and layered it on a piece of blue bling card stock from Bazzill. The blue snowflakes are out of bling paper, too. I added a blue pearl to the white one for some added dimension.

Supplies:

Stamps - TAC Mountain Scenery and Speckle

Ink - Palette Jardin Moss

White craft paint - spread a thin layer on a piece of paper and dip your stamp into it..

White glitter

Bazzill Bling card stock

Stardust gel pen

Inspiration for this cards came from Kitty747 over at SCS.
