CHNC challenge extra for June mid-month inspiration


This is my card for CHNC challenge extra for June mid-month inspiration - please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team - and there's still plenty of time before the end of the month to add your own Christmas creations.

This is also another card for my CHNC challenge 181: include some gold or silver (or both).

The background and the striped card are from an old Kanban kit. The silver foiled panels with the lovely bird and baubles and the strip across the bottom are from My Paper Stash 'frost & feathers'. As is always the case, difficult to get a photo when mirror card is involved.

CHNC challenge 181: include some gold or silver (or both)


For CHNC challenge 181 starting today I'm asking you to include some gold or silver (or both) on your Christmas creations - for more details and to see the sponsors, please click on the link.

I've kept my card simple with gold mirror card for the background, three gold foiled vellum squares some gold and silver glittered Christmas puddings and some silver sentiment strips.

What a nightmare trying to get a half-decent photo when the background is totally mirror card!

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 33: celebrate


This is my design card for today's Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 33, where the theme is 'celebrate' - please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in the challenge, which is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps, adding the sentiments digitally, mounting the image on silver mirror card.

I've used Bugaboo Stamps 'AKV too Wedding - cut cake', kindly supplied by the sponsor, colouring with spectrum noir pens. The embossed background paper is some that I've had for ages - quite a bundle of similar papers that haven't been touched and I'm not sure why, because they are lovely. I found a scrap of 'congratulations' vellum that I torn to put over the silver mirror offcut. The glittered spotty ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons, part of a prize I received for winning at the Allsorts Birthday week.
