It's the second Wednesday of a new month, so that means it's time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge! Wilma is the host, and the themes are:
'U is for Unusual Christmas Colours'
&
'V is for Velvet'
There is a surprise gift from Wilma on offer for the lucky winner:
Inspired by more traditional Halloween colours, I picked orange and purple as the main colours for my 'Unusual Christmas Colours' card. I used a Crafter's Companion die called 'Cascading Snowflakes' to cut the snowflake panel from purple card, then layered that over an orage card blank. I cut a sentiment from a snippet of pink card using a Creative Expressions die, then added that over the top.
I knew I had some velvet ribbons in my stash, and after a good rummage, found a few different colours which happened to be a fairly good match for the papers in the 'Mistletoe' pad by Craftwork Cards. I paired them with a Lili of the Valley pre-coloured image (from the 'Christmas Cuties' set), distressing the edges and adding soe faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
- Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
- Crafty Friends - More Than One Die (First card only)
- Creative Fingers - Anything Goes
- Polkadoodles - Anything Goes
- Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
