It has been really cold here in the Chicagoland area (especially considering that this is only October) so I was in the mood for working with a holiday or winter idea. (OK Dana you nudged me into it LOL.) Here's my card for this week's color challenge:
I used all Papertrey papers per the color graphic and just worked with several layers. Cuttlebug snowflake and swiss dots embossing folders provided some texture. There are snowflakes stamped on the cream strip but are very soft and a little hard to see. The aqua mist ribbon really matches the paper beautifully but my camera was messing with the color so part of it looks a little "off". (sorry)
I used red as the accent throughout from the sponging to the framing to the embellishments. A little bit of Copic shading using BG000 to provide some dimension to the snowman (and to stick with the color challenge.) Again, it's hard to see but there is glitter on the snowman and bits of it on the cuttlebugged snowflakes as well.
Here's a detail shot of the snowman so maybe you can see a bit of the glitter.
To play along this week with the Color Challenge, create a new card and post it to your blog or online gallery, then provide a DIRECT link to your project on the Mr. Linky on the Just Us Girls Challenge site for JUGS3. Deadline to post to Mr. Linky to be considered for our "top pick" stamper called our "Chic of the Week" is Thursday, October 22, 9:00 PM EST. We will post the winner on the Just Us Girls blog on Friday Oct. 23. I really hope you will play along!
For more inspiration please hop along to the rest of the Design Team and see what they have "colored up" for you:

Gorgeous layers and texture Pam! I love all of the embossing in the background and glitter accents. I'll bet those glittery sparkles are even more amazing IRL. You capture the spirit of the color challenge perfectly!

Pam - SUPER fun card -- I love the embossing -- and that snowman is just too cute :).
I love that you did a 'winter themed' card too -- that's what I originally thought of, but 'needed' a different kind of card ;).
Another stunner, Pam! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Oh Dear Pam! I sent you an email prior to your posting & didn't realize that I didn't come back to tell you how much I love your snowman card! I love ALL the embossing, the pearly embellies & the detailed sponging around the perimeter of the scalloped circle! Great inspiration! :) TFS
