Sharing WCMD Cards--FWF

I've been busy helping with harvest

the last couple weeks but still

found a bit of time to take

part in the Unity WCMD challenges.

Challenge #1 was to distress dry embossing.
I've never done this technique before:

I used the Prince of Peace stamp

and a snowflake from

Bright & Merry Winter Wishes

to make the faux metal embelllishment.
Embossing done with Fiskars
Texture Plate II.

Challenge #2 was to make

a Halloween Card:

I used stamps from With Sympathy

& paper I got in a RAK a long time ago!

Challenge #3 was

a sketch challenge:

Stamps include Generations

Season of Joy &

To the Moon & Back

The paper is from a book

called Old Time Agriculture in Ads.

And last but not least is

Challenge #4...an inspiration photo:

I went with the hat theme

on my card, using stamps from

fresh beginnings KOM,

Generations, Sending My Love

& Bevy of Butterflies.

Still time to join in the Unity

WCMD fun, the

contest ends Oct. 15.
