OSAAT Challenge #37

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

Thanks for stopping by,

Amanda
