Hi Everyone, thanks to each and every one of you that joined in with last week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time. We had lots of Celebrations covered in the challenge. We have another brilliant challenge today which is:
Traditional or Modern Christmas - Anything Goes
A nice easy challenge for you this week - so let's get making some more Christmas cards and enter them into the challenge.
For this challenge we have three amazing sponsors who are offering some lovely prizes:
Easy Craft - £10 voucher
I am roses - some lovely flowers for your cardmaking
Michelle's Scrap - $10 voucher
I chose to make a traditional card for this week's challenge. I have used some fabulous traditional style papers by Toucan Scraps which are available in the Stitchy Bear and I Did it Creations Crafting Boutique here. There's also a lovely lilac and purple version if you like a more modern look. I especially liked the wording paper, but they all printed beautifully.
I have chosen to add a rubber stamped image of Father Christmas to my design. I stamped the image with Versa Mark and went over the impression with some red Perfect Pearls. It has been ages since I used my Perfect Pearls, I had forgotten just how nice they look, especially for Christmas with the pearlescent lustre.
The holly was from my little box of bits which I have probably "recycled" from somewhere and I've added some red card candy for berries.
So, I can't wait to see what you make for our challenge and don't forget to have a look at the other DT blogs - they've come up with some great ideas for this challenge!
I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sketch and Stash - I used their sketch, newest item is the papers, neglected items are the stamp and my perfect pearls.
Bee Crafty - Christmas
Crafty Purple Frog - Anything Goes
