Card Crafter's Circle/Challenge #2 CHRISTMAS

Hello, and welcome!

Have you been as busy as I have?  Will take it as a given....haaa!

I'm hoping it's late on Thursday night, UK time, when this is posted....just can't trust Mr. Bloggie to get it right, so fingers crossed...heehee.

I want to post Card Crafter's Circle challenge posts at this time, every week, because Pauline (owner of the blog) is based in Australia, so I'm trying to tie in with her posts.

Well, it's our second challenge, and this week we have another fantastic sponsor.....

The Challenge theme is CHRISTMAS......woohoo!

The winner of this challenge will get to choose 3 digis.....how great is that?

I chose to play with this little guy.......you know what a push-over I am for snowmen, ha!


The image is called Snowman and Friend.......

I layered up onto red cardstock, and used some DP that I found in my stash....I don't think they are Christmas papers, but the colours seemed right......

I just love the expressions on those ickle faces.......they are coloured up with Promarkers, and have some sparkle added here and there....gotta have sparkle at Christmas........

I cut the swirl with my Spellbinders die, from white card, then coloured to match the image, and added the same sparkle....the red circle was cut freehand, so isn't perfect, but the yellow Nestie-cut frame hides a lot...haaa.....and the ickle pearls soften it.......

How d'you like this shaker snowflake?  I got a whole sheet of 'em, all the way from Denmark, from my lovely friend, Anne.....thank you, sweetie!  I backed it with a teeny red embossed Nestie shape......love it!

I love the "snowballs".....found them on a spool, and it would have been rude to leave them....heehee......

Hope you can pop over to the Challenge Blog and join in the fun....you could be our next winner!

Hugs,

Anne-Marie x
