It's time for the first CHNC challenge of 2013 - for challenge 106 I'm asking you to create any Christmas card that doesn't feature Santa because he was working so hard before Christmas 2012 that he has now gone into hiding! The chance to win a prize this week has tripled because of the generosity of so many sponsors I am now able to offer at least two prizes a week and sometimes three - this week there are three.
Don't forget that any card that you enter into my CHNC weekly challenges can also be added to my CHNC challenge extra monthly challenge which is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.
For my card I've used a new stamp that I received in the post a yesterday. When we were away in Maidstone about three months ago I saw this stamp in a craft shop, but hesitated to buy it - when I went back it had gone, so I searched on the internet and managed to get one nearly half price in a sale - result!
The stamp is from Stampendous called 'snowy postcard' - I inked with memento rich cocoa and it stamped beautifully first time. I torn the edges of the white card and brushed with vintage photo distress ink. For a change I've not used any designer paper, just a snippet strip of foiled brown and gold down the side (because only top and bottom showed I got away with using a small offcut) and a gold sentiment, both of which have been in my stash for years and needed using.
