Snow Monster Gift Tag

I am a BIG fan of the 1964 claymation classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, so when Lawn Fawn came out with Yeti, Set, Go! my brain saw the "Bumble!" I made a tag featuring the "Bumble" and am submitting to the the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge featuring Lawn Fawn stamps. 

I white heat embossed the outline of the Yeti image and then colored him in with color pencils. 

Thanks for visiting!

Ingredients: Lawn Fawn Yeti, Set, Go!; PTI Tag Sale #4, Tag-Its #8 (sentiment)

Thanksgiving card for Card Concept Challenge

Time for the Card Concept: Challenge #22 - Thank "fall". Love the current challenge! My card was inspired by the colors and the variety of fall objects.

My card falls more in the Freestyle Collage style.

My card is inspired by this card. I love the panel/subway text stamp and am always looking for inspiration.

I originally planned on having 3 panels of the text across the card, but my measurements were off so I only was able to fit 2 panels, so I put the tree in so it wouldn't be off balance.

Here is a detail shot. The "leaves" of the tree were created with a blending tool and distress inks.

And here is the inside of the card:

I adore that little squirrel!
