Mo's DP2 Challenge #111 (and more)

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  I'm off to a bit of a late start this morning, but I always like to start off my Thursdays with a card for the Mo's DP2 Challenge!  This week's theme is "the great outdoors".  How fun!My card is also for two other challenges I like to do if I can find the time - BasicGrey Challenge #58 (Lost & Found) and The Corrosive Challenge #138 (CASE the DT).

Here is the card I made for the challenges:


I chose Linda Palmer's cute snowman card in this post to CASE for the Corrosive Challenge.  I kept her layout, location of embellishments and circular sentiment, but changed the colors, papers and images.  I started with a card base of SU Always Artichoke and layered with GKD Lipstick Red and patterned paper from the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding collection.  For my outdoor scene, I chose this delightful image of Mo's called Irma and Vieno Skiing.  You can find it in Mo's old store here.  I printed the image on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers.  I added Ice Glitter to the fur on their hats and boots and Polar White Flower Soft for the snow.  My "lost & found" item was a mailer from Nordstrom.  The envelope was a beautiful shimmery blue on one side and silver on the other.  I had tucked it away for some future crafting use - perfect for the BG challenge!  I  used the blue side to cut my flourish (Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish) and a couple of the snowflakes.  The silver snowflakes were punched from the other side.  I also used the blue side to mat the sentiment (from JustRite Stampers A Merry Little Christmas set).  A few rhinestones added to the snowflake centers finished my card. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful day!  See you soon!
