Some quick cards

I really want to get on with some notebooks for Saturday, but this morning we have someone doing alterations in our kitchen, so everything's in a bit of an uproar (yet again!) so I just can't settle to them, so I decided to use the time to make a few quick cards to sell in packs of 5.

The background paper on these cards is Teresa Collins Noel definitions. I wish I'd bought more of this paper because I love it - it's doubled sided and has text on the back against a rich red background.

The stamped and embossed images were done ages ago when a dear crafting friend sent me a stamp to borrow (you'll see more of these soon because I stamped up quite a few before sending the stamp back).

I'm entering these for the following challenges:

Cupcake 162: black and white Christmas (I hope I will be forgiven for the few deep red berries)
Kelley kid 10: black and white
Little Claire 13: black & white theme
Inky impressions 27: monochromatic
Dream valley 17: monochrome
Try it on Tuesday: make it minimal
Sparkles forum Christmas challenge 9: Christmas songs - In the bleak midwinter
Our daily bread 78: scripture, quotes or song - In the bleak midwinter
Sew many challenges: anything goes
Penny's 63: anything goes
Creatalicious 26: anything goes
Papertake: anything goes
Crazy4challenges 107: World Cardmaking Day - anything goes - donate to charity (these will be among others sold at my sale on Saturday to raise money for Tearfund)
Lothian crafts 19: anything goes
