CHNC challenge 37: swirls

The weeks are going by at an alarming pace - it's time for another challenge on my CHNC blog. For challenge 37 I'm asking you to use swirls on your cards. Please click on the link for the challenge to read what this is all about - and it would be lovely if you made a card and entered it for us all to see. There are lots of you who have been making Christmas cards for weeks (even months), but I suspect there are some of you reading this who have yet to start them - why not begin with this challenge?

For my card I stamped randomly with a Dawn Bibby Personal Impressions stamp inked with versamark and heat embossed with red metallic powder. I then added some rhinstone gems on to the end of the swirls.

The central nestie shape was cut from a piece of glittered card rescued from a Christmas cracker a couple of years ago, topped with the stamped image 'jolly Santa' by Hero Arts with just his face and hat coloured with copics.

(Sorry about the quality of the photo - I really should get my card made in daylight - will replace if I can get a better shot.)

I'm entering this for the following challenges:

ABC Christmas: R is for recycling and rhinestones (or ribbons)
Winter wonderland: Santa Claus is coming to town
Scrapbook sisters 51: ho ho ho
Christmas crafting 3: Christmas sparkle
Scrap-card 11: Christmas
Samuel Taylors September Christmas card using any rubber stamp (prize of four Prima paper pads)
Christmas cards all year round September: everything is more than a year old
Crafty ribbons 1: festive cheer in September
Crafty creations 135: anything but a square
Created by hand: hurricane/swirls - no hurricane (only outside!), just swirls
PaperPlay 36: use two or more stamped images
Do you stack up 36: texture (the glittered recycled card from the Christmas cracker)
The paper shelter 30: embossing of any kind
The stamp man 31: monochrome - white and one other colour you love to use
Pile it on 36: B for ... bling
Whoopsi Daisy: let's bling it
Delightful: bling it!
Little red wagon 97: use a die cut
Crop stop 36: spellbinders die cuts
Stamptacular 127: the sky's the limit
Stamp something: something to say goodbye 'anything goes' (sadly, their last challenge)
