Baubles and bows

All I needed to do was to add a few bits, a sentiment and some bows and the card was done.

Home for Christmas

When I saw the photo inspiration Holly jolly Christmas this week, it was the fireplace that really caught my eye and brought back childhood Christmas memories.


So I chose a picture from the Hunkydory Christmas classics called ' a Christmas welcome' and chose background card that had some Christmas greenery.

And I used the sketch for Penny's 88:


And, as there's food involved, this is another for my own CHNC challenge 85: festive food or drink.

Metallic Christmas

For this card I've used some pieces from the Hunkydory Elegant Christmas adorable baubles, matting on to some snowflake card and embossing a strip of gold mirror card with a Creative Expressions crackle folder.

This is for the sketch for Always playing with paper Merry Monday 27:


Also based on this photo inspiration given for Winter wonderland this week:

Ginger spoon

'Ginger spoon' is the name of the digital image that I've used - it was supplied by Bugaboo Stamps, sponsors of my CHNC challenge 85 this week, so this is another card for that.

This is also for Kerry's sketch for the fortnightly challenge for the Christmas Card Club (names of those involved on my sidebar - if you're interested in joining, please contact Clare):


The main background paper is DCWV and the other pieces are from my offcuts - so this is the first opportunity of the week to join in with Pixie's crafty snippets 33, also Hiding in my craft room 58: super scraps Saturday, Squiggle stamps: stash attack and Waste not Wednesdays 28.

The scalloped circle is a nestie die cut. I distressed edges with brown corduroy ink and added some Prima gems and a piece of spotty ribbon. The image was digitally coloured in Paint before printing.
