For the first challenge, I used a The Paper Shelter image called Delicious Cocoa for Challenge #95 - Winter Blues. The name says it all... it calls for a winter themed card... at first... I thought they meant it had to be blue as well but in looking over the DTs examples there's one that is in red... but I made mine blue anyway... blue always makes me think winter and cold... brrrr... :)
The next challenge is with Digi Haven. They are ALSO have a winter themed challenge for their January 18th Winter / Snow Challenge and I'm not 100% positive... I think it needs snowmen and snowflakes... but I also saw some penguins with snowflakes... to be on the safe side... I used ribbon with snowmen and I added snow flakes on one of the corners. Perfect! :)
Paper Makeup Stamps is also having a winter themed challenge. Challenge #71 - Winter requires the use of a digi stamp and I am definitely using that! :)
Finally... Ribbon Carousel is having a winter themed challenge for RCC76 - Winter Spirit Challenge. For this challenge I have to use a new project with ribbon and follow the theme. I'm all over that! :)
Alas... I forgot to take a pic of the colored image but here is my card:
I used card stock, ribbon and brads from my stash. I embossed the background card stock and the frame around the image with two separate embossing folders from Paper Studios at Hobby Lobby. I sprinkled Crystal Snow from Stampendous "in the sky" and "on the ground" around the image. I have a HUGE problem with that... I always want to draw in a background! Sadly... I am not an artist... but this works anyway! :)
These are the Copic marker colors I used for the image:
Reds: RV29
Browns: E13, E15, E33, E35
Blues: B00, B004, B23, B24
Blacks: N8, N6
Grays: N00, N02
White: E41
Skin tone: E00, E11, R01, R20
