CHNC challenge 357


This is my card for my CHNC challenge 357 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of things with wings.

For my card I used two parts of a recycled card - can't take any credit for doing any crafting with this one, but it was too good to put in the recycling paper bin. I won't be entering any challenges with it because I did nothing other than stick the pieces together on the card blank.

CHNC challenge 356


This is my card for my CHNC challenge 356 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of traditional Christmas colours.

The background paper is from Dovecraft's Magic of Christmas paper pad. The  piece across the middle is an offcut from Red Christmas paper from The Works, left over when making the previous card. The striped border pieces are from an old Kanban kit (the edges are gold foiled, although here they look more like black). A Kanban greeting from a kit purchased some years ago was mounted on to a Dovecraft Glad Tidings doiley.
