It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for another ABC Christmas Challenge - our last of the year! I'm the host, and the themes are:
'Y is for Your Choice'
(We know you're busy, so 'Anything Goes')
&
'Z is for Zebra'
'Z is for Zebra'
(Black & White and/or Stripes)
The prize for the lucky winner is a 'Cozy Christmas' 6x6 paper pad & Hero Arts 'Cozy Moments' stamp set:
For my 'Your Choice' card, I combined some mice from a couple of Anita Jeram/The Colorado Craft Company stamp sets...the one in the Santa hat is from the 'Christmas Hat' set, and the others are from the 'Birthday Wishing' set. I stamped them all on to a kraft card blank, then coloured them using watercolour pencils. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Creative Inspirations - Happy Christmas/New Year (First card only)
- Gem of a Challenge - Anything Goes
I went with the Black & White option for my 'Zebra' card...not a combination I really ever use. I stamped my Woodware 'Mini Tall' and 'Mini Wide' 'Twiggy Tree' stamps...stamping them on to a black card blank using Versamark Ink, then heat embossing them in white. I added a sentiment from the 'Winter Blessings' set by Crafter's Companion, also heat embossed in white.
- Allsorts - Something Beginning with B (Black)
- Stamps + Fun = Creativity - Monchrome
I adore all things Anita and your first card is a beautiful CAS use of those little cuties!
ReplyDeleteThe black and white is very striking and just right for those fun, graphic trees, Helen. Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Allsorts.
What a lovely pair of cards, Helen. The first is so cute and very you with the beautiful colouring on the kraft base, and the second is so striking and modern,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
