ABC Christmas Challenge - N is for...

Today, I have another card for our current ABC Christmas Challenge, where the theme is:

'N is for No Nonsense'
(No Frills, No Designer Papers)

This time, I've made a one layer card...and stamped my image (from the 'Christmas Critters' set) directly on to a kraft card blank. I added a sentiment, border, and stars using stamps from the 'Bubble Tree' set by Woodware. I used watercolour pencils to colour the image.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, and all the info on the prizes from our fabulous sponsors...Simon Says Stamp and Karen's Doodles...please visit the ABC Christmas Challenge.

    FAbulous card Helen, that coloured image looks super.
    Personally I don't think it needed the hand drawn frame. just my personal opinion of course

    Just got back from holiday and am catching up on everything that's been happening at Bah! Humbug! Don't want to miss out on any of the stunning cards that have been entered while I've been away.
    Wow so glad I didn't miss this - the effect of the image on Kraft card is gorgeous - really special. Must try this as it just blew me away.
