All the team were challenged to use the same image but to make one card clean and simple (CAS) and the other to be over the top (OTT). There are some wonderful creations by the Design Team and as you hop through don't forget to leave each one of us a comment as a random commenter on each blog will be selected to win an image of choice from the store!
I've used the Snowman Hugs image and coloured both with Promarkers. For the CAS card, I printed the image directly onto my cardstock, rounded the corners, added glitter glue around the edges and then added a white organza ribbon and bow to the front and tied a snowflake charm and handwritten tag to it.
And for the more OTT (well, as OTT as my cards get!) I've used a Memory Box die for the top and bottom borders, white satin ribbon and then the same sentiment and snowflake charm but added a year charm too. I layered the image onto the card with foam pads so it stood out a little and then found some half pearls in my stash (I say 'found' which really means, felt I had to use some of the many thousands I seem to have....!)
So there are my two cards - hope you find lots of lovely inspiration as you hop through the team and don't forget, the Project 100 Snowmen images are only $1 in the store and snowmen are really quick to colour too!
You should have arrived at me from Michelle then you're on the right track, if not, please start at the beginning so you don't miss anyone - the start is the blog. Once you've left me a comment then your next step is back to the FTHS blog. Good luck!
The hop will end on Monday 9 November at 6am EST and winners will be announced on the FTHS blog on Wednesday 11 November. Good luck!
Adorably Sweet! I love each card....the swirled snow if fabulous 😉

Oh Ruth! Both of your cards are magnificent. I love your coloring and the CAS version is just so beautiful on it's own with that little tag - I LOVE IT. Then again, the embellishments on your Over The Top Card couldn't be more perfect. Great Hop Cards!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are really lovely. Your coloring is beautiful! That snowflake border and those snowy hills really add to the elegance of the OTT card. I have this image and am grateful for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBYW, your link from the FTHS blog is broken. I went back to Michelle's blog and arrived from the link on her page, but I wanted to let you know so you can fix it on the FTHS blog.
Love those memory box dies, so cute. Both cards are super cute.
ReplyDeleteWow, both cards are gorgeous. Love how different they can look with just a few more detailed embellishments. Love the little snow banks you made.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Ruth! Love the sparkle and charms you've added on both cards.

ReplyDeletelove love them. Love the snowflake die and how the image is popped on the OTT. But I also like how you used the clear bow on the top one to keep the focus on the image. I love your cards and both of these go to show why.

These are both beautiful cards! I really can't say that I like one better than the other. The embellishments that you used on the over the top card really fit well with the images. Love your snowflake charm. Thanks for the fun hop. I've really enjoyed this theme.
ReplyDeleteHi, your cards are soooo cute and lovely! Both are just too perfect to pick one thing which I like. They are both wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Ruth. Great take with CAS and the OTT card is just great. Love the fancy borders.
ReplyDeleteFabulous coloring of this sweet snowman couple, Ruth. The CAS is sweet, but the second really makes the image pop! Love the snowflaket border and 2015 charm.
