Inspired to Create

It's time for a new challenge at ABC Challenges.



January 14 - 20


This challenge is a Photo Inspiration Challenge. Participants are asked to make CARDS (remember, ABC Challenges is all about CARDS) that is inspired in some way by this photo...




Isn't that beautiful red cardinal striking nestled there amongst the snowy branches?

I decided to go with a snowy card with just a touch of red.




My card features to different embossing folders - both made by Sizzix.

And look at this...




I added two little bread clip thingies to my card. I even stamped a red snowflake onto the white one.





The inside of my card has a little bit of fun, too...




I do love that snowflake embossing folder.

The little snowflake on the bread thingie and the sentiment inside are both part of a very old Stampin' UP! stamp set that I've owned for a long time.

Speaking of which... everything on this card is from my stash, so it's my 15th card for the 100 Cards in 100 Days Challenge.



Now it's your turn. I can't wait to see how the picture inspires you! I'll be looking for your link to your card on the ABC Challenges blog soon.

    Hi Jeanette

    I love a card that is so "tactile" - the ones which FEEL as nice as they look. Very Nice!

    Thanks for sharing. You sure are one busy Gal!

    Blessings,
    Barb

    Oh Ha! I thought that was a bread clip thingy and had to pop into your blog to see if I was right. How creative and cleverly "green". I've had lots of fun looking through all your fabulous cards that you've made lately. I'll have to visit more often since you are so busy. Love your style gal. Hugs. D
