Santa's List

I made this card for my shoebox swap for a recent get together with our  Stampin' Up group. We had a great day at Ngaire's with lots of laughter, chatting and eating.  I love these days, as we get to catch up with everyone and we can share our creativity and ideas.   I always come home with a some great ideas.

My card was designed around the recent post on Splitcoaststampers for the Modified Tri Shutter Card.  I used the stamps sets Santa's List and Very Merry Tags with the DSP from the Season of Style paper stack.


Beautiful Butterflies

The challenge this week at the Deconstructed Sketch is based on this terrific sketch

 
I used the Faux Patina technique that I found on Splitcoast Stampers for my background with a colour scheme of Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana and Early Espresso.
 
I cased the idea of the butterflies on the tag from Pat Carr.  At a recent shoebox card swap get together  Pat used this element on her card and I liked it so much I copied for an element on my card.
