Last week some of the Saltbox Studio Design Team were talking about doing some card challenges. Well Elena came up with this great color combination and our first challenge for 2009 was issued to the Team. For a little extra fun we invited the A Muse Creative Team to play along too!
The Color Challenge was to use Swiss Red and Cabana Blue a great winter combination, perfect for this cold front we are having this week. It's going to be 38 tomorrow! Brrrr!
I used one of the adorable snowmen from the Saltbox Studio Winter Wonders set and combined it with an A Muse sentiment for a cute thank you card that I need to mail out this week to a friend! I stamped the image in A Muse dye ink and colored it Copics. Then I added a little Star Dust Stickles for a little winter sparkle.
Be sure to check out the blogs of Elena, Lexi, Mary Rose, Emily, Geeta, Lori, Novell, Rhonda, and Sherry to see what they came up with too!

Wow, 38 in Florida?!? That is freezing for you guys. I hope it warms up soon. We're finally in the 20s today. Feels so tropical compared to how cold we were last week.
Love the card- those colors are cute together.
