There's a new Challenge in town, brought to us by Diane & Darlene who seem to have a knack for challenges here in blogland - this is their 4th!! they've made this one an
'anything goes' as long as it's a Christmas card challenge.
Just take a looky loo at this gorgeous mood board for their first
Between their logo, the colors of this mood board, and my friend Leslie's gorgeous stag, I couldn't resist playing along! I have many, many more Christmas cards to make to reach my goal of 350! Here's how I was inspired:
- the grey print on the stocking inspired my choice of paper for my panel
- the white ornaments lead me to this retired Dove from EH
- my friend Leslie's gorgeous Stag with the stamped scene steered me to stamp on my dove!
Ready for my card?? Here she comes...
Another cover plate you see here often from Altenew - Dotted Starburst
I recently was lucky to have a win at Waffle Flower Craft Co. This gorgeous
JOY was ONE of the sets I chose - you'll see another very soon, promise!
Soo. are you all ready for Christmas card sending?? No? Why not join me and play along?!

Oh I need this challenge to get my self in gear with my Christmas cards! They must know about those of us who get a late start LOL! Love the stamping on your dove, the berries dotting the J and of course your signature gray. Pretty card!
This is gorgeous for sure but I can't get past that number....350...say what?!?!? 350!!!
Such a beautiful card. That inspiration board is wonderful and you definitely rose to the challenge. Continue to be so impressed by your creativity, Michele. Crafty hugs!
I love how you were inspired by the different elements in the photo's. Your card turned out beautifully.
I just love everything about this card, Michele! Going to have to check out this challenge as I am far behind my Christmas card goal. Thanks for sharing!
You are amazingly talented my friend!
I just knew it would be the 'grey' stocking you would choose as one of your inspirations Michele. Loving the idea of stamping on your Dove and just loving this contemporary eye catching card x. Well done with the win too and great choice of prize x.
This is one of the challenges I'd like to get to, if I get my Halloween things done. Yes, I know they have a Halloween challenge too. ;) I love that WF Joy and have it in my stash, Michele. It looks great with the berry tittle which ties in with the branch stamped on the dove. Spectacular design and execution!!
Beautifully created and love that you let the inspiration board inspire you with the colors! Thank you for joining our challenge at Peace On Earth!

This is so YOU, my friend! I thought of you when I saw the mood board! Love how you've stamped on the dove and that background paper is so perfect! The pierced design in the background too!
These colors were just made for you now weren't they???!!! The mood board is indeed gorgeous - the colors and images are wonderful. Your card is fantastic. I love your embossed card base and that wonderful branch across the dove is splendid. I hope I can find some time to play...
Once again, youve knocked it out of the park. All the texture of the pierced folder, the background pp, that gorgeous stamped dove and the berries dotting that flowing "joy" make for a spectacular Christmas Card.
This is such a "Michele" card and is absolutely BEAUTIFUL my friend! CAS perfection and a definite winner in my book!! LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Another perfect use of grey and red, love it xx
Jiminy Christmas, Michele, that's one gorgeous card! As always it's just enough of everything, including color. The red and gray is softly elegant. Love the stamping on the dove, and now we all know what to do with our blank die cuts. Thanks for the shout out, and thanks for sharing with us at Peace on Earth!
Beautiful card Michele, the white and gray and pop of red all make it a standout.
Beautiful! Lovely pp, and that die - oh my
I think they had you at 'grey' lol. LOVE it Michele!
Oh, Michele, that gray and red is so elegant - I am always amazed by what you create! I was thrilled to learn about this new D&D challenge, I certainly do need a spark to get started on my holiday cards. Thanks for the inspiration and the information!!
Shhh....let's not talk holiday cards. I mass produce mine and yeah...I'm behind. I love how you stamped out the dove! I definitely need to check out this challenge.
love!!

I'm playing catch up again... Love this card Elegant, unique and the perfect red and grey combo!
Another fabulous Christmas card, Michele! Using just white, grey, and red gives you a peaceful feeling. And what I love most about this card is that you stamped the holiday greenery with berries on the dove. I was looking at that dove die a few days ago and wondering how I can use the dove die-cut instead of just coloring it. Thank you so much for your inspiration!

Gorgeous!!
How in the world do you need 350 cards - and how are you going to do it!!??? I'm overwhelmed and behind every year and I only need 75!
