CHNC challenge extra for June

Can you believe that it's June already - that means that by the end of this month we will be halfway through the year and certainly nearer to Christmas 2014 than 2013 - a scary thought. Which is why it makes sense to get on with the Christmas crafting before any panic sets in. It's good making Christmas cards when there is no pressure. If you haven't yet started, why not hop on over to CHNC challenge extra for June and join in. If you click on the link you'll see the lovely creations of the rest of the team.

This is my design card. Every month the challenges are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and I've used an image that they kindly supplied as well as some of their digital papers. The image I've used is winter trio which I coloured with spectrum noir pens.

CHNC challenge 179: 3 of something

For my CHNC challenge 179 this week I'm asking to see 3 of something. If you haven't started your Christmas cards yet this year, it might be a good idea to think about joining in and get ahead of the 'panic season'. I'd love to see you there.

For my card I've used a Hunkydory background and some vellum and card panels that I've had for ages. The vellum is white with gold foiling, which, unfortunately, doesn't really show up in this flash photo (will try and replace with a better one taken in daylight). The flowers were from Hobbycraft.
