Margaret's Challenge...Father Christmas..

Once again sorry for being late with my blog challenge..

My challenge is a box card which is a kit from Hunkydory..

I found this kit when I was looking for card for my next challenge which I chose..."Baubles"..

I decoupaged the Santa image and glittered the snow on the trees and on Santa, hope you can see the glitter.

Hazel's Challenge...Feature a creature..

Hazel's Challenge is to feature a creature...hope two will do..

I used a pack which I think was Kanban..

The original card featured was a round card on acetate but thought I would make it differently...

I used my A4 dotted embossing folder for the main card and carefully highlighted the dots with distress ink.. 

Zoe's Card...Clean and Simple..

The main card is made from my favorite card, Centura Pearl...

I used the same snowflake stamp from the previous card using distress ink to stamp with..

The sentiment and holly leaves are from the same stamp set as the snowflakes..

I finished with gems for the berries and in the centre of the snow flakes and ribbon on the edge..

Lizzie's Card...Vintage..

I thought I was going to have trouble with this card but I was inspired by two of my crafting buddies..Mark and AJ who do a lot of steam punk type crafting...

I used a Kanban Topper backing it with black card and very carefully cutting round the main shape.

 The main card I stamped with snowflakes and distressed with vintage photo ink..

AJ gave me the ribbon type feature which he won in a blog candy.

I then finished it with a sentiment from the same Kanban topper sheet and put gems in for the car head lights..

Sylvie's Card....Silver and one other colour..

My card for this challenge was great to do..

I used silver mirror card for the main card and used cutting dies as a black silhouette effect for the sleigh, reindeer and tree, finishing off with peel offs for the stars, reins and frame.

Clare's Card...Use Kraft Card some where...

On this card I used Kraft card as the main feature.

I used a Christmas tree embossing folder, then cut out the shape with cutting dies, then followed the lines of the tree with Stickles.

I cut out the corners in the Kraft card and finished with a Kraft card tag and sentiment.

Sue W's Challenge..Snowballs and Glitter..

This is Sue's challenge.

I found the freebie background decoupage whilst I was looking for other items for my cards..

The boy image is a freebie, which I stamped onto colored papers then cut out to decorate his clothing. 

The snowballs are made out of cotton wool balls..

I used stickles glitter for the snow, water and berries..

Finishing off with a sentiment.

Steam Punk

In between making my Christmas Cards I had a Birthday Card to make for my partners son.

The image is from my good friend Mark.

I coloured it using my Spectrum Noir Pens and grunged the outer with Distress Inks.

The clock face is a shrink plastic freebie that I got in a magazine.

I cut out the lettering on my Ecraft and finished embellishing it with ribbon and brads.

The lace effect underneath the son I am not sure what that is called but it made a good effect.

DEBI'S Challenge - 3 Fold Card & Traditional Christmas Colors

For Debi's Challenge I made a three fold card with traditional colours, which I presume is red and green.

 I used a topper and glittered paper from Docrafts.

I cut out the Ho, Ho, Ho's on my Ecraft Cutter, with red ribbon, gems and some stickles on santas berries and beard to finish.

Dawn's Challenge...It's Only Words.

 Dawn... Sorry my card for your challenge is late..

I have been struggling of late to be inspired..

But eventually an idea came to mind... 

It consists of a Clarity Stamp, Spellbinders cutting dies, Distress Inks and peel offs with a touch of Stickles..

Now Iv'e been inspired again I will be looking to catch up with the other challenges..
