CHNC challenge 278: use a sentiment

It's the fourth Saturday in the month, so the theme for my CHNC challenge 278 this week is 'use a sentiment' - anything Christmas as long as there is a sentiment added.

For my card I used one of Lozzy's snowflakes paper in green (Lozzy's paper pick), matted on to the card blank with strips of washi tape down the side and across the bottom. The glittered picture is upcycled from an old card. Various flowers from stash with brads in the centres.

Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 127

This is my design card for Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 127: anything goes with a twist ... for a lady/girl. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of others in the team and join in our challenge with your feminine creations.

I used Sparkle n sprinkle Vivian hat lady, kindly supplied by the sponsor, colouring with spectrum noir papers. I created the background with various paper offcuts, the main one covering the card blank is a very iridescent paper that changes colour according to how the light catches it. The frame is an old Kanban one, Hobbycraft flowers and a few pearls and sentiment.

This card has a Happy Birthday insert - was commissioned by a friend.
