Hello again! I'm back with another of Diane and Darlene's challenges. Remember, my goal is to do all of their NINE(!) challenges this month. Can You Handle the Pressure is one of the Two D's bi-monthly challenges and I'm hoping to do both this month. I love my embossing folders!
The optional twist this time is "winter". I always try to do the twist. This could be just a winter card, but I made it into a Christmas card. Inside it says, "Enjoy the wonder of it all. Merry Christmas". The rush of the Christmas season is a good time to stay cool and enjoy the wonder of it all.
The fox and sentiment are from a 2020 Power Poppy clear set. The inside sentiment (sorry, not photographed) is from another Power Poppy set. Even though Marcella is no longer making stamps I continue to enjoy my Power Poppy often. The digis and a few of the stamp sets are still available in the Power Poppy Shop.
Coloring was done with Copics. Most important to this challenge is the Snowfall embossing folder.
Many thanks to Diane and Darlene for this fun challenge that helped me get a start on my 2024 Christmas cards so I can "stay cool and enjoy the wonder of it all"!
Can You Handle the Pressure with optional twist of winter.
I'm glad we could visit today. Take care and we'll do this again soon!
Congrats on challenging yourself to keep up with all nine challenges this month! This cute little fox looks right at home in his cute little ski sweater and skis. I love the little trees in the background along with those fun snowflakes. Cute card!
ReplyDeletearg winter. We're in frigid weather system for a good week to 10 days.

That is too cute, I don't remember this image from her stamps, like the sentiment with him and the layers of snow, so fun.

I have been really enjoying Darlene and Diane's challenges myself. They seem to just keep me interested these days and motivated to make a card. Don't want to get too rusty...I do love your card! That little fox is just the cutest and I really like that embossing folder. Hope you are doing well!

A fox on skis, who would have thought? He does look warm and cosy in his jumper as it is clearly very cold with all that snow. Great card. Keep up the good work with those challenges xx
ReplyDeleteLeslie, good for you on pushing yourself to complete the 9 challenges this month! Your fox is so adorable on those ski's. So fun! and of course always wowed by your coloring. Love the snow falling embossing folder!
ReplyDeleteThat's a foxy fox, Leslie! As always, it's beautifully colored. The arrangement with the embossing folder is perfect, too. (You are really started on Christmas cards? I struggled late with mine this past year and started questioning my decisions.) It's another darling card, Leslie.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute fox that makes a fantastic Christmas card, Leslie! Love the embossed snowfall!
ReplyDeletethat fox is super cute, he's having a great time on his skis :)
ReplyDeleteLove your snowy dry embossed background for your Adorable and beautifully colored with Copics Winter fox:-) Awesome to get started on your 2024 Christmas stash too, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy...I think we are into Winter Weather..we were without power from 4 a.m. until 2 p.m. today because of a Big Fir tree that fell across the power lines on Coos River Hwy about 2 miles down river from our place:-) I did manage a 2 mile walk right after the power came back on...it has been a laid back Winter day:-) Love and Hugs to you and all the family!
