Hi all! The excitement is building for you challenge chasers today! We have a four-part, fun-filled progressive card making challenge that has your name written all over it! If you haven't been following today's festivities, you need to click on over to this post HERE to get caught up and read up on why we decided to kick off this progressive challenge! Why follow all four steps in this challenge? Because it will give you FOUR WAYS to win all four stamp sets in our November Release! What fun! You can find the second step right HERE! The third step is HERE, which means we are ready for your last and final clue! Bring on Step 4!!
STEP 1: Simply use this sketch! Just that easy!
STEP 2: Use a Monochromatic Color Scheme! Need some inspiration? Check out our COLOR MADE EASY System!
STEP 3: Add a splash of decorative paper somewhere on your card!
STEP 4: Add some sparkle! Any kind will do - glitter, bling, you name it - if it sparkles, it counts!
Once you are done with Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4, be sure to link up your creation below using the Inklinkz widget. HERE'S THE CATCH!!! If you want to be eligible for ALL FOUR ways to win, you need to be progressive and add your creation to each step of the challenge. You can make 4 cards or wait until all four steps are revealed and incorporate all four steps into one card. BUT, even if you only make one card using all the steps, you need to link it up on all four posts. Random.org will chose four winners so we want to make sure you are counted for each step you used on your creation!

Need a little inspiration?
This was such a fun challenge to do! All the basics were figured out for me. All I needed to do was just add the details. :-)
I chose to work with the Holiday Sparkle stamp set, some pretty patterned papers from Echo Park's Winter Wishes 6x6 pad, some pretty Swirly Rhinestones, Spellbinders Blossom Tags and Accents Dies, sparkly ribbon, and a trio of sparkly snowflakes. Just in case that wasn't enough sparkle, I added some to the santa image with a Sakura Clear Stardust Gellyroll Pen. I colored him in with the following Copic Marker Collections:
(just a bit on the tree)
(Santa's skin)
(base of ornament and a smidge on Santa's beard)
Here's a close-up view:
I gussied up the inside of my card as well:
The snowflake image is also from Holiday Sparkle, and the sweet sentiment is from Sentimental Christmas.
