CHNC challenge 577

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 577 - 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 'feature a creature (any animal}'.

This was a commissioned card requested by a friend whose relatives have a dog she calls her 'Grandog'. There was a photo of him with a floppy sun hat on, so I found a digital picture of a similar dot, put a digital hat on him and created the background with the sentiment. This was then printed out and matted on to gold mirror card with the addition of the poinsettias.

CHNC challenge 569

This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 569 -  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  'use some glitter'.

The background of my card is a piece of paper from a pad bought long ago in Poundland. I stamped the lovely Penny Black caroling penguins with versamark onyx black and heat embossed using detail black powder. I used a quicky glue pen for the fluffy areas on the hats, adding some sparkly glitter. I did just a bit of colouring with alcohol markers and die cut with a todo decorative oval, using a large one to create a mat with an offcut of red pearlescent card with gold glitter. I added two snippets of gold glitter tape that had been left over from a previous make. The sentiment was created with my dymo letratag label maker.
