Time to Pile On the Challenges!!

Happy Sunday and Happy November!
I can't believe it's another new month, Thanksgiving will be here soon and then Christmas!
It's time for another card with a bundle of challenges, yes it's a new Pile It On card!
This time the Design Team had a theme of Thank You.

Cupcake Crafts gave me the sketch
Gingersnap GC27 had a Color Challenge of Orange, Green and Brown
Treehouse Stamps had a color combo that worked too of Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede and a neutral
The PlayDate Cafe had a color combo of Orange, Yellow and Brown
Magnolia Down Under wanted to see the Distressing technique.
Flourishes wanted Border Punches
Sunflowers and Dragonflies had a "Flower Power" theme
Crafty Creations had a Give Thanks/Thanksgiving theme
Stampin B's Thanksgiving theme
Gingersnap GC28 also has a Thankfulness theme
Cuttlebug Challenge wanted a Favorite thing and so I chose my trusty Swiss Dots folder!
Whimsical Ink wanted Embossing
Alphabet Challenge had C for Circles (the buttons are circles)
Scrapbox wanted to see Circles too!

Now this was a new technique for me, I stamped my image on Kraft colored paper and used my Copic's on that. It gives a different look and I think it works really well for this style/theme of card.
The image is called Stylish Tilda and I do think she has a ton of style!
The dp is Bo Bunny for the background and the brown word paper is DCWV.
The sentiment is 7 Gypsies. The flowers are Prima and the clear buttons are from Basic Grey.
The brown panel is embossed with Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder and punched with the Martha Stewart Valentines Lace border punch.
The edges of the panel, background and mats are all inked with Chalk Ink.
Finally the ribbon is Michaels from this years Christmas collection.

The inside is more Bo Bunny dp and a message mat topped with ribbon.

Coloring on Kraft paper gives a different look but I think it is worth a try!
I'd love to see your creations on the Thanks theme, please go and post them over at Pile It On

Puppy Love - A New card for Cute Daisy May

Happy Monday!
It's time for a new challenge at Cute Daisy May and this week's theme is "I Love You". I thought I'd take a little liberty with the theme and for all you dog lovers I did a Puppy Love card!
This image is so super cute and it comes from Sheet 35 and I wanted to turn it into a Christmas card, don't ask me why?
I've used some other challenges to help me create this card.
Friday Sketchers gave me the sketch
Paper Cutz wanted Tags
Scrap Masters had Embossing as their Finally Friday challenge
Charisma Cardz said "It's So Distressing"
Lili Of The Valley wanted a Christmas Card for a Child
Whimsical Ink Sorority wanted to see some Bling!
Fun with Shapes and More wanted Christmas with non traditional colors.



The papers are a combination of some old Cosmo Cricket, Scenic Route (sad to see them close :() and The Paper Studio.
The embossing folder is Snowflakes from Cuttlebug and the sentiment was printed and then cut with a scalloped Nestie.
Theimage was colored with Copic's and then I added ink to the image, mat and the squares behind it too.



The inside is more dp and a message mat topped with ribbon.



So I'd love to see you "show your love" and enter a card in this weeks challenge!
