Creative Belli Challenge #108
Welcome to another Creative Belli Challenge!! The challenge this two weeks is Snow...This can include ribbons, brads, buttons, glitter, patterned paper, chipboard, stickers, Flower Soft - anything that is snow related. Be sure to use something old and forgotten from your stash, too...the Belli Challenge is all about using your old stuff and forgotten treasures!!!My card today features the adorable stamp from Rubbernecker called Snowflakes and Tongues. It was colored with copics, the snowman and little girl were popped up with dimenrionals and Flower Soft was added to the snow and the snowman. The Snowflake was cutout with Taylored Expressions snowflake die and the ribbon and button with Baker's Twine finish it off.

CONGRATULATIONS, girlie! They sure ARE lucky to have you. I love the ric rac ribbon layered over the cork on the first one. Love the colors on the second and that FUN image! Hehe!
I LOVE both of these Joan, but especially the LOC card ... I'm kinda partial though. I love how you did each bird a different color and the cork board!! I'm so excited you are the guest designer this month! I can't wait to see what else you come up with. It' so much fun to see how many different ways each designer uses LOC stamps. I'm always seeing new things and learning!
Have a blessed day!
