CHNC challenge extra for October 2017

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge extra for October 2017 - please click on the link to see the inspirational designs by my team and we hope you will join in our challenge.

Now that we are beginning October, it's time to be a bit more serious about Christmas designs - I hope you will be able to join in our October challenge. ... it can be any creation as long as it's for Christmas and you can enter as many times as you wish.

The background card is from a Hunkydory kit bought long ago and the other elements are from an unknown kit that I'm still dipping into sometimes.

Bugaboo Stamps always generously sponsor my CHNC challenge extra and provide images for the team to use and showcase. The image I've used is Christmas jar, a pre-coloured one. I used papers from my Christmas offcuts box, a couple of felt stockings and the sentiments.The background paper has lovely sparkly snowflakes.

CHNC challenge 353

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 353 - please click on the link to see what it's all about and I hope you will join in with the challenge. It seems unbelievable that tomorrow is 1 October ... we need to seriously get on with those Christmas designs now.

The optional theme for CHNC challenge 353 is 'black and white and one other colour'... but anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

For my card I used the lovely Inkadinkadoo reindeer stamp, inked with versafine onyx black and heat embossed with detail black powder.. Various offcuts were used, including the piece of embossed shiny black card. The greeting tag was from an unknown set I purchased long ago and the little black flowers were cut from some sticky ribbon.
