Winter tree twin cards

This card was inspired by several challenges (on of which I didn't end up entering):


-Poppystamps and Memorybox, which both had the theme of winter and snow

http://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/challenge/

-And Coffee lovers with a colour challenge (for which one I was actually too late to enter, but I liked the combination of the challenges.)-

-Simon says stamp has "add a sentiment" as a challenge this week and I'm just on time for it.

-Cuttlebug Mania has the theme "Valentine"

Daring cardmakers "black and white and a pop"

(I haven't figured out how to add a challenge badge to my post, so if anybody could give me some instructions, that would be appreciated. Thanks.)

Since I couldn't decide if the tree looks better with a green or red shadow, I decided to make both cards. and I still can't decide which one I like better.









I used these dies:
Orchard tree frame (memory box)

Magnificent mini faeries (Poppystamps)
http://www.poppystamps.com/search.asp?keyword=magnificent&search=
with love (no brand)

A no brand snowflake stamp
And I coloured the top of the branches with a white Neocolor crayon to make it look like a witner tree.

Peter Pan's boat

This card is inspired by the "Kids Kard" challenge by Dies r Us http://diesruschallenge.blogspot.no/ As I did the colouring with water soluble Neocolor (using them as water colours) I can also post it in the water colour challenge by Happy Little Stampers. http://www.happylittlestampers.com/2018/01/hls-january-watercolour-challenge.html The idea is to show the end of the story, when the boat floats in the sky. But I also added some sea elements just for fun. I used the following dies:  "life is a journey"  by joy! crafts "Under the sea collage" by Memory box "From the sea" by Cuttlebug "Watch faces" and "Ribbon banners" by Spellbinders Shapeabilities  And I coloured it with Neocolor water soluble and metallic crayons.
