Merry Scenic Winter Wishes

This card is for this week's Color Throwdown (CTD270) and Paper Players (PP174) challenges.  I actually stamped and colored the main image some time ago.   Since I'm recovering from carpal tunnel surgery, it prompted me to dig through my stash of predone elements and work with those.  This image was a perfect fit for both challenges.   

Here are a couple of angled shots.

and the inside of the card.

Medallions of Wreaths

From the archives.   I confess... I've run out of new holiday projects to post for this December.   Well, I did have two more, but the digital pictures went to cyberspace heaven and I've given the card and gifts away.   So I'd like to revive one of my favorites from last year.

I made this card for my local Stampin' Up Demo, Chris Galbraith.   I love all of the creativity she shares with us gals all year long.  It was a pleasure to create something for her for a change.   Since the card is for my SU Demo, all of the products are Stampin Up.  

The inside has the same circle image that I used as the wreath on the front of the card stamped in clear embossing ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  It's very hard to see in a photo.   Note to self:  Next time I do that technique I'll have to pounce a bit of ink around it to make it stand out some more.
