We have another fun
ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...I'm the host, and we have two awesome themes this month, which you can choose between, or combine:
'N is for New'
&
'O is for Old'
(Just don't forget the Christmas theme!)
We have two wonderful sponsors this month:
Prize - $10 Gift Certificate!
and
Prize - $10 Gift Certificate!
There's also a bonus prize from me of this Lili of the Valley 'Perfect Snowman' stamp:
On my first card, I used a new stamp (new in the sense that this is the first time I've used it...but to my shame it's been sitting waiting to be mounted on to some cling foam for months...) Lili of the Valley's 'Ice Christmas'. I stamped it directly on to my card blank, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Scribbly Christmas set by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous.
Challenges for this card:
On my second card, I used an old favourite stamp ('Bedecked Antlers' by Penny Black) and old papers (from the 'Bundled Up' pad by Crate Paper). The image is again coloured using watercolour pencils, and the sentiment stamp is from the same Tim Holtz set used on my first card. I distressed all of the edges before adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
