Here is Hero Arts Holiday Cardmaking Challenge, below is the challenge photo:
And here is the card I made for this challenge:
I used the set of Scandinavian Holiday by Lia and different colors of Hero Arts ombre ink pads to stamp each image on the background of the card. Then, I cut out a slanted stripe in the middle of the card. Using this cut-out as a template, I cut another piece of white cardstock and blend the green ombre ink pad on the stripe. I stamped "Merry & Bright" (from Christmas Crystals set) on the green stripe and white embossed it. I brushed the clear Wink of the Stella pen on each image at the background as well as attached some sequins on it. Finish the card by attaching the green stripe with foam tape on top of the background. Below is a closer look of the card dimension:
Supplies:

Here is Mama Elephant October Challenge to celebrate its 3 years - creating a birthday card. I decided to make a tri-folded birthday card for one of my friends who is Virgo as her astrology sign. Below is the finished card:
I used the die from Believe in Magic set to create the snow globe window in the card front. The background was colored and blended with Distress ink pads. The Virgo and stars are from Cosmic Stars and Believe in Magic sets. I placed a acetate sheet on the globe as well as some star gems on the acetate. The Congratulations greeting word is from Bountiful Blessings set. Below is the inside look (2nd layer) of the card:

1) Altenew September Challenge: From Places Abroad - Windsor Castle
2) Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
And below is the card I made to attend these challenges:
I dry embossed the white cardstock with the embossing folder and an oval embossing diffuser to make a blank oval shape in the center. Then, I lightly applied gold Gelato on the embossed area to make it gold & distress look. I heat embossed the flowers (from Peony Scrolls set) with gold embossing powder and watercolor the flowers. After the watercolor dry, I cut out the flowers and attached them on the oval space with foam tapes. I also gold embossed "Happy Birthday" (from Persian Motifs set) on top of the oval space. Finish the card by attaching some gold pearls. Below is another look of the card:
