Here are the two challenges I would like to attend this week:

2) Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge #405-#407, below is the challenge word art:
And here is the card I made to attend the above two challenges:
I learned the "embellished window technique" from Jennifer McGuire and sprinkled silver glitter embossing powder on the laminate sheet and run it through the laminator machine. Due to the heat of the laminator, the embossing powder will be melted in the laminate sheet to create the snow background. Then I sandwiched the laminate sheet in between the die cut shape and background. I colored the mouse and gift images with Copic marker and cut them down. I stamped the greeting at the bottom of the background and attached some gems to finish the card. Below is another look of the card:
Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI, Stampin' Up
Ink Pads: Archival ink, Gina K Designs

Here is Simon Wednesday Challenge - Stamp It, below is the challenge photo:
And here are the two cards I made with the same stamp set to attend this challenge:
I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's Offset Shadow Stamping technique and made these cards. I stamped the tree background (from Pinkfresh Studio's Through The Trees stamp set) on the hunter green cardstock with white ink. Then I move up the background a little bit up and stamped the same tree background again with hunter green ink. It will create a dimensional offset shadow effect. I white embossed the greeting on a stripe of vellum and finish the card by dropping some Nuvo Dream Drops. Below is another look of the card:
I used the same tree background stamp and stamped another card:
This time I used the kelly green cardstock to make the card. I gold embossed the greeting in the center of the trees and also gold embossed around the card. Finish this card by attaching some clear gems on the card. Below is another look of the card:
