Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper April 2018 challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper April 2018 challenge - please click on the link to see the inspirational designs by my team and we hope you will join in our challenge using some patterned paper.

This 8" x 8" card was made using a background paper from DCWV Mariposa stack, with elements from Docrafts Papermania midnight blush capsule collection - heart lace paper, big bloomers (some cut down to layer), large ribbon bows - a textured rub on Happy Anniversary, the Love acetate topper (can't remember where I got this) and the lovely little swirls with pearls from Create and Craft. I stamped the lovely Stampington forget me not inked with memento, covering the words with the Congratulations sentiment.

CHNC challenge 379

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 379 - 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 'include a star or two or more'.

The panel on the left with the repeated Happy Christmas was printed on to vellum, having been produced by me on computer. The piece of green card with gold stars on the right has been in my offcuts box for years now (and still got pieces left). The sentiment label was from an old Kanban kit. I punched a few stars using bits and pieces of gold card to add.
