ABC Christmas Challenge - H is for...

Woo-hoo...it's time for a brand new ABC Christmas Challenge...and Samantha is our host...with a theme of:

'H is for Hardware'
Feature something metal on your project

Our very own Lacey is the sponsor for this challenge, with her wonderful Stamp & Create Store


The prize is a whopping $25 gift certificate to spend at Stamp & Create!


Wowee!!!


Not only do we have a fabulous challenge this fortnight, but we're looking for some new playmates, and are holding a DT call on this challenge...so if you like fancy joining our happy little family, make sure you check out the post over on the ABC Christmas Challenge...but not yet...I haven't shown you my card!

I've used a little stamp from the 'Jolly Friends' set by Penny Black...which I coloured using watercolour pencils. I embossed the background using my Sizzix/BasicGrey 'Snowglobe' & 'Powdered Sugar' folders...making a scalloped border using my EK Success 'Scalloped Diamonds' punch. For my 'hardware'...I attached a little 'Joy' charm using twine from the Ribbon Girls.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, and to find out more about the DT call, please pop over to the ABC Christmas Challenge.
