Whoa is me! This is my last week as a guest designer over on the Friday Mashup (http://www.fridaymashup.com/2011/11/fm34-sugar-and-spice-make-christmas.html). I have had a lot of fun trying my hand at this challenge thing! It was cool to have a mashup challenge early and see what I could do with it before I ever saw what someone else did with it. I rather enjoyed myself! Hey, Mike-y, she likes it. So, alas, here's my final challenge as November 2011 (I just accidentally typed 2012... an omen?) 
The challenge was to make a Christmas theme card or make a card using an aqua, Soft Suede, and Whisper White OR Mash it Up and create a Christmas themed card using those colors. I decided right away to mash it up, and the colors told me they wanted to use my Dasher Stamp, one that had no ink on it for while. I also wanted to case a card from the cattie (from page 45). I really liked that punch behind the four corners. Here is how mine came out. I also added some more layers and instead of pearls, I used a little aqua colored bling. I put three in his antler swirl and one bigger one in each corner. Oh! I embossed Dancer... that's important to know, and as you can see, I added another layer in . I sprayed my Smooch spray on the aqua base (it is actually Pool Party). Then that whole front piece is popped up using the dimensionals.
To be honest, I didn't love it at first. I actually took it off the front twice. I just really felt like it was missing something. I decided it was missing some ribbon... so I added some. (duh!)
Here's a bit of a close up on it. I hope you like it! Go check out the other cool cards over on this week's challenge on Friday Mashup!
Thanks for looking!

Lisa, I have loved having you as one of our November guest designers!
This card is so elegant, I love the shimmer of the background and the addition of those fancy corners is very creative.

Lisa, I love the corners! I have that punch and never seem to use it; you've inspired me to change that. :) I love the bling you used to dress up Dasher!
Beautiful elegant card, love the added sparkle.
Love that Dasher has blue rhinestones!
Dasher looks amazing! Love the curly label punch under each corner. So glad you had fun as a guest designer!
