It doesn't seem possible that we are now nearer to Christmas 2016 than 2015. I started my Christmas challenge blogs a few years ago to help to spread the task of making Christmas cards throughout the year - I'm so glad I did and am grateful to all those who enter the challenges sharing their lovely festive crafting. If you haven't started Christmas designs yet, perhaps now is the right time to do so and join in the fun at CHNC challenge extra for July - I'd love to see you there.
For my card I used an unknown piece of paper for the base on this side opening A5 card, wrapping the sentiment ribbon around. The image is Christmas mouse - cocoa, kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps, the sponsor of the challenge - a randomly chosen winner will receive $21 worth of digital stamps.
I coloured the image with spectrum noir pens and mounted on to an offcut of pink patterned paper. The doiley shape was rescued and upcycled from an old Christmas card received and some Hobbycraft flowers added.
