Merry Monday 200th Challenge Celebration & CAS Mix Up Challenge

Welcome friends to our 200th Challenge
of the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge!
We have a special line up of people to help us with inspiration this time.
We each selected someone whom we admire and asked them to join us in providing inspiration to you...so here we go:

Do you see all that shine? That is from the Inka Gold "platinum:.
I took a piece of pink paper (PTI Lovely Lady), scrunched up a piece of saran wrap and dipped it into the Inka Gold and then dabbed it all over the pink card.
I die cut that piece using Memory Box Pine Border die, I then took some PTI Luxe Silver Cardstock and die cut the MB Pine Border Outline.
I decided a little falling snow was in order, so I pulled out SSS Falling Snow stencil and used more of the Inka Gold Platinum!
My sentiment is from PTI Signature Greetings.
The strip of silver to 'ground' everything is an Inkssentials aluminum self adhesive foil tape.
And now for MY Special Guest:
Marcia plays along regularly and I am always in awe of her talent and the beautiful cards she makes.  I think you will agree this is no exception.  Isn't it stunning?
Please check out her blog for the details and join us in this 200th Celebration!
Here is the graphic Lesley has designed for our 200th Celebration!
You may select any of the four choices to play along! 
 We thank you for joining us and we look forward to seeing how you are inspired!
There are plenty of people to give you added inspiration, so please go check out the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge Blog and see all the beautiful cards!
And congratulations Lesley on making this a FUN and SPECIAL 200TH CHALLENGE!!
And thank you friends for faithfully making your Christmas cards year round with us!
Heart Hugs! 

Edited to add: Both Loll and Bonnie reminded me that I could link this card up to their CAS Mix Up Card Challenge,
so that is what I am doing!!


 I stamped my sentiment, I used a stencil for my falling snow and I used a mixed media with Inka Gold.  Thank you for reminding me!
