Challenge 25: Christmas!




Hi everyone! Thankyou for taking part last week, looks like you really enjoyed the challenge. This week's theme is 'Christmas' (this is the perfect chance for you to be early and make a christmas card!). Of course you can make anything else christmasy, including ATC's, tags etc.

Our design team have come up with a few ideas for you and we hope you have a great time taking part in our challenge.



Congratulations to Val dulac you have won last weeks prize please email us and we will get it in the post for you.

This week's Prize, supplied by SirStampalot - are these 2 gorgeous rubber stamps by Printworks. Everyone who takes part in this week's challenge by (10pm Monday the 11th of August GMT) will be entered into a prize draw and one lucky person's name will be picked at random winning these 2 stamps! (they really are beautiful)

Card
I stamped a Penny Black snowmen image and water coloured it in, and matted onto patterned and plain papers to co-ordinate. I punched a snowflake in orange, added some brads, and stamped a message to finish it off.

Card


For this week's card I have used backing paper from the Artylicious Seasons Greetings CD along with a stamped image of the *Poinsettia Fairy* from *Joanna Sheen. *The image has been water coloured and mounted over a cuttlebug swiss dots background piece. I have added glitter to the Fairy in places and embellished with Gold Satin Ribbon.

Card
For this weeks challenge I used a Linda Luckin snowman stamp stamped with black stazon on to acetate. The I used art institute white glitter to cover his body - I cut him out to stick him onto the tag.. The tag has been stamped with Linda Luckin snowflake and embossed with glittery embossing powder. The background paper was then stamped the same snowflake stamp.

Card
I stamped a Christmas scene and coloured it with watercolours and added some sparkly glitter. I also stamped and coloured Lulu and placed her on a chipboard frame which I placed over the Christmas scene. I then added a greeting, ribbon and gems for decoration.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
I covered the base card with two co-ordinating pieces of paper and hid the join with a piece of ribbon. I cut a rectangle of blue card, embossed it with the snowflake CB embossing folder, then sanded over the top. I stamped the message at the top in white ink. I stamped the penguin image and coloured him with Prisma pencils and added some faux snow and a bit of glitter, then cut around it in an oval shape, inked the edges in blue then mounted this on to a scalloped oval, then assembled all the pieces to the base card.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
I watercoloured my Tilda image and used various scraps of paper for my background. I stitched all around the edges of my card. I added loads of buttons, paper flowers, string and gems and a bright green ribbon.
