CHNC challenge 263: another red card


The challenge for CHNC 263 this week is to use the colour red ... a little or a lot (every second Saturday in the month is going to be a colour challenge this year).

For my second card I have used Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet Kaz Kraftz Christmas stocking, coloured with spectrum noir pens, kindly supplied by another of our sponsors this week (I tried and tried to get a betterphoto, but couldn't - it looks as if the card is crooked, but it isn't).  I used offcut pieces that I found in my Christmas box, including the paper piecing on the stocking imag - the glittered silver strips were also snippets, not having a full length to go all the way across. The 'fur' on the top of the stocking has been glittered with stickles crystal ice:

CHNC challenge 263: red


The challenge for CHNC 263 this week is to use the colour red ... a little or a lot (every second Saturday in the month is going to be a colour challenge this year).

For my first card I've used digital paper, image and sentiments from Doodle Pantry's Bitty Christmas kindly supplied by them as one of this week's sponsors, with a ribbon added down the side:

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 112


This is my design card for Suzy Bee's  Bloomin' challenge 112: anything goes with a twist ... it's bloomin' cold out there - please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and join in our challenge - it doesn't have to be for Christmas ... just depicting 'cold'!

The background picture is one that I rescued from a magazine or advertising leaflet (can't really remember, but I kept it because I thought it was too good to put in the paper recycling bin). I stamped the lovely Stampotique snowman by Jo Capper-Sandon, colouring with spectrum noir pens and cutting out carefully, spraying with stick and stay to place it on the main picture. The sentiment is one I've had for ages. I mounted everything on to a shiny black piece of card - unfortunately, you can't see any of the shine here.
