CHNC challenge 51: Anything goes

Would you believe that we're only just over a week away from Christmas Day?! And it's time for challenge 51 on my CHNC blog. This week's challenge can only be 'anything goes', to give you the opportunity to show any of those last-minute cards that you are still making. Or perhaps you've made some recently, but not had time to blog and show them - now's the time to do so.

I've actually made a lot of cards in the last couple of weeks - I took photos of most of them, but haven't had time to blog them. I made two black and gold cards a few days ago and managed to get photos taken outside, but had to take them at strange angles because of the reflection on the gold mirror card.

The black and gold card on the first one is Kanban and the holographic gold trees on black on the second one was recycled from a card I received last year. The little black and gold trees were part of a QVC kit a couple of years ago and the glittered ribbon was from Hobbycraft.

And I made these yesterday, using more of the Kanban black and gold card, strips of black gems from Poundland and larger versions of the trees, this time adorned with Anna Griffin bows.

I'm linking these for the following challenges:
