Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July 2017 challenge

It's the 1st of the month and that means that there is a new challenge over on my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper challenge blog.

This is my card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July 2017 challenge. Please click on the link to find out what it's about and see the lovely inspirational designs by my team. We hope you will join in our challenge ... as often as you like throughout the month of July as long as you use some patterned paper.

I used papers from Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey set, a wooden frame with a vintage picture from a little book from The Works and 3D flowers from Anna Griffin, plus a sentiment and lace from stash.

CHNC challenges

This is my card for my CHNC challenge extra for July 2017. Please click on the link to see the lovely festive designs from my design team and we hope you will join in ... anything goes as long as it's Christmas. Now is an ideal time to start making your Christmas designs if you haven't yet started.

The foiled background paper was a magazine freebie. The image is a retired Bugaboo Stamps one called AKV girl xmas tree - Bugaboo Stamps kindly sponsor our CHNC challenge extra every month - another reason to click on the challenge link to find out what's on offer for the randomly selected winner.

I backed the image with a red and gold foiled piece of card - been in my offcuts box for ages, as had the strips used on the left and across the bottom. Washi tape was then added to these.

I'm also showing this card for my CHNC challenge 340 where the optional theme is to use some washi tape. I hope you will also be able to join in this challenge ... and don't worry if you don't want to use washi tape ... it is purely optional ... anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
