Two Blue Cards

First up, Christmas Craft Creations "Blue & Silver" challenge.

I created a tissue paper background, using a little piece of blue tissue paper that has silver dots in it - I glued it to a scrap of cs, slightly wrinkling it as I laid it down so that it would have some texture.  I then die cut a thin frame out of it.  I die cut the same thin frame out of silver glitter cs and inlaid it into the blue tissue paper piece.  Out of another scrap of silver glitter cs, I die cut the star, and from a scrap of white cs, I cut the trees.  Added a sentiment and put it all together.

Because of all the scraps I used, I'm also adding it to the new Snippets challenge.

The second blue card is for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge "Snowflakes are Winter's Butterflies" and for the Jingle Belles Challenge "Oh Christmas Stencil".

I pulled a scrap of background out of my box that had been painted with a blue shimmer acrylic paint, and stencilled snowflakes over it with a sparkle paste.  I used a white shimmer cs for the die cut frame and card base, and added a sentiment heat embossed on black cs and die cut with an old label die.
