BC - Anything Goes

{Bare with me as this turned into one LONG post}

Good morning everyone!! Oh how I love weekends! And next weekend is Labour Day weekend - even better!!!!

So I have a set of cards for you all today. I worked on them late last night and put the finishes touches on them this morning. I finally found the special touch I was looking for yesterday at Michaels. I didn't know what I was looking for, but I did know what I wanted. Does that make sense??? I look up and down the aisles every time I am there but this time something caught my eye. I found me some Inkssentials Glossy Accents!!!! This is what I have wanted to do to my cards for months but like I said, never really knew what it was called. NOW, how is that for a long winded {boring} story!?!

Over at Bee Crafty, we have a new bi-weekly (fortnight) challenge for you.

And the challenge is: Anything Goes (just use a digi)

Oh my! I bet we get over 200 entries this time around. I better get my fingers ready to comment!!

I used the Christmas Wish Fairies for two cards... Even though I made two cards, I consider them really one, as the card ingredients are exactly the same. Hence the "set." I think of them as brother and sister spreading Christmas cheer.

So this is "the brother." Let's call him Timmy...


Don't you just love Timmy's little tummy?


This is a {terrible} photo of the Glossy Accents on the wings - hard to capture something clear LOL



And here is his "little sister." Let's call her Tammy...

Tammy has got a cute lil tummy too!!

Card Ingredients (same for both):
Bee Crafty images; American Crafts Jolly papers; Recollections cardstock; Circle and Label Nesties; Stampendous! Kaleidoscope embossing powder; Copics; Gelly Roll white pen; Inkssentials Glossy Accents; Celebrate It Holiday ribbon; buttons; twine. (Tammy has RAK dew drops)

I had these fabulous challenges in mind when making my set of cards:

• Simon Says - Paper piecing (both their outfits are cardstock)
• For Fun Challenges - use ribbon or lace (I made my "infamous" bow, button, twine combo)
• Papertake Weekly - Recipe: 3- 2- 1 (3 bow, button, twine combo) (2 design papers) (1 digi image)
  

• Christmas Cards All Year 'Round - Snowflakes (this card #1 and #2) I have 3 days and 11 hours to complete #3, #4, and #5 LOL)

• PaperPlay Challenge - Use their fab sketch and bonus challenge: use something new (my Glossy Accents and ribbon are brand new)

Okay, I think that is it!! Have a lovely weekend. I have to get more Christmas cards done!!
