The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #101 - Reminder

 

I'm delighted that we have the very lovely and talented Greta as our Elfin Muse for August. I love that Greta headed her launch post: 'On Elf Duty'. So cute.

Greta has made an adorable card for our Reminder, so why not head over to Kickstart HQ and take a look? 

 

Here's what Greta made to kickstart her Elfin Mission with us:

As always, I tried to create an Inspired By card for our mid-month Reminder post. 

Isn't Greta's card a dream? I was going to talk through the things I love about her card, but where do I start as everything is simply stunning, STUNNING! I love the big cream bow, the different shades of green AND the sparkly red accents, the placement and style of the gorgeous sentiment, the thin red border. It's all just lovely and totally harmonious.

OK, I'll stop the whole Fan Girl stuff! Here's what I made... I wanted to place my sentiment and bow at 5 to 5 just like Greta, but it just wouldn't work. Thankfully, everything else seemed to fit together nicely.

I had so much fun CASE-ing/being-inspired-by Greta's card 😉.  I know I made a much more visually interesting card because I drew on Greta's superior design abilities and her adorable signature style! Thanks, Greta!

I used Wonderous Wreath from Stampin' Up!, plus the matching Sizzix dies for this card. I used the same set for my second card, but swapped the colour palette. 

And finally, here's Cool Dude Rudy with his Random Raffle Prize for August...

Greta and I both hope you'll come Wreath it Up with us!
