Merry Monday #200th Challenge Celebration with Guest Designer Marybeth Lopez & Muse: Christmas Challenge #39, CAS Mixed Media April

Hello everyone, today we celebrate our 200th Challenge here at 

Merry Monday 

We were asked to pick a Guest Designer to join in our fun so you have twice as much inspiration.

The Challenge is to choose one of the following

As you can see I picked a Snowman Theme with this cute little image from Wild Rose - Girl with Snowman.  Colored with Copies.  The background circle is Inka Gold - Steeleblue which is shiny and prettier in  real life.  The white background is embossing paste over MFT Snowfall Stencil.

Sentiment from PTI's Tiny Treats - Christmas

 

And here is my Guest Designer, Marybeth Lopez

Marybeth's Time for Paper

She even makes cutesy cards look elegant.

Use a butterfly 

 Memory Box Fantasy Floral stenciled with Distress Inks for a nice soft background

The butterfly is a technique  scrunching plastic wrap and applying Liquid Pearls on paper and then sponging ink.  This was some backgrounds that I had made when visiting Colleen the first of March.
