The two cards I want to share in this post show off a couple of my most favorite color combinations.

First up, the CAS-UAL Fridays challenge to use blue and this wonderful shade of blue mixed with white. I used the Broken China Distress Stain and a blue Chalkboard spray. I thought that the blue and whites looked pretty neat on the gray card.

The ornament and the snowflake stamps are from Hero Arts. I stamped each one with white ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. The embossed images then act as a resist when the colored ink and spray are added. I just love that look.
This also fits the HAPPY HOLIDAY challenge at Paper Issues. The challenge is for a Christmas project, but I think a card fits for that.
And this also fits the Addicted to CAS SNOW challenge. It is their very first challenge, how cool is that!!!

I also wanted to play with the Freshly Made sketch challenge. It seems it always comes and goes to quickly to get a card done for with their sketch. I made sure to make it in time this week.

I just got a set of sentiment stamps from Hero Arts. I LOVE this set. I combined two of the sentiments. So many of them mix and match plus I love that font. The chevron tapes are from Queen & Co. and the dot petals are paper tape from Smashbox. The button is from WalMart.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
