Crafting musketeers challenge 33

This is my design card for Crafting musketeers challenge 33 (I am on team B, we publish mid-month) - please click the link to the see the lovely designs by the rest of the team and join in our challenge here.

The theme for our challenge is 'new beginnings' so I have made a card to be given to celebrate the arrival of a new baby.

The background is actually an embossed vellum which I adhered to the card blank by gluing beneath the various added embellishments from my stash.

CHNC challenge 264: cute

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 264: cute (or anything goes as long as it's Christmas).

I've used Robyn's Fetish Christmas ginger cutie kindly supplied by them as one of this week's sponsors, colouring with spectrum noir pens, cutting out and mounting on to a couple of die cut mats using some lovely foiled papers I've had for a long time, finally on to a piece of of gingerbread people paper from a Cosy Christmas collection, mounting on to the background paper with the gingerbread houses, again from the Cosy Christmas collection. The die cuts were made using X cut parenthesis rectangle dies. The ribbon was from Crafty Ribbons and felt buttons from Poundland. The chipboard candy cane is one that's been in my Christmas box for ages.

I based the card on the sketch given for Tuesday morning sketches 334:
