It was Carol's turn to choose the theme for today's Christmas gang challenge (if you want to know more about the Christmas gang, please click on one of the names in my sidebar and contact to find out how to join in).
Carol asked us to make a Christmas card using pastel colours, a bow and a penguin.
I've used the sketch for
Ribbon reel 3:
This is also another card for my challenge 23 'wintertime blues' on my Christmas challenge blog - you can read about it
here - if you haven't joined in yet, now would be a good time to start making those Christmas cards and, as the challenge was set on the first Saturday of the month, there will be a prize for a randomly picked winner.
The penguin image is a digital one from Delicious Doodles - I'm entering this for
Delicious Doodles 28 ' texture' challenge - the texture on the white card has been created by using an embossing folder to create the dots. Also the silver ribbon has a texture to it. This is also for
One stop craft 134 'texture' and
Bling it on 4 'embossing'.
The scalloped circle was cut with a nestie and the image coloured with copics and the edges distressed with stormy sky DI. I was rather pleased with the way the bow turned out (often don't have much success with this kind of bow).
I think this could work as a card to give to a man, definitely a boy anyway, so this is also for:
It's also for:
Stampin sisters in Christ 92: use something new on your project - although I've had the penguin image for some time, this is the first time I've used it
