So, we've come to the last Rudolph Days Challenge for 2015. The November challenge is open from 25th November until 30th November, so just a few days to get your entries in to have a chance to win a fabulous die. Thanks to Mo for running the challenge all year. It's certainly made me start my cards early and make them throughout the year.
I used a Presscut Step Card die with Lili of the Valley patterned paper panels. The image is one of the Crazy Bird stamps I was lucky enough to win in the Playground earlier in the year, coloured with Promarkers. I went over the white on the hat with a Wink of Stella Glitter pen.
I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:
Rudolph Days November Challenge ~ Make a Christmas Card
Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 204 ~ Used red snippets
CHNC challenge 256: things with wings

A second card today using the same embossing folder I used here, 'Frosty Ice Border' by Sheena Douglass, but this time I turned it round to make a portrait card.

Deep Ocean Challenge ~117 ~ White and other colour
Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 204 ~ Used red snippets

A second card today using the same embossing folder I used here, 'Frosty Ice Border' by Sheena Douglass, but this time I turned it round to make a portrait card.
First I covered the front of the base card in the same card as I used for the tree. The tree is die cut using a Memory Box 'Frosted Christmas Tree' with white glitter added along the embossed part. The glitter actually look whiter IRL. The centre of the embossing folder is plain, but I wanted to give it some texture, so I added tiny punched snowflakes.
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

I love those crazy bird images Liz, they're so much fun! I like how you've coloured the image and I really like the card fold you used. The patterned paper is lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteThe second card you made is so pretty and peaceful. The colours are wonderful and I really love that embossing folder. I remember admiring it on your earlier card too. Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI love your crazy bird card and the elegant appeal of the 2nd one. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteIs one cute cards, Liz, and love the one above this too, Nice variety indeed... And glad that my lightbulb moment helped you.
ReplyDeleteYou're the only one to comment so maybe everyone else knew.
I used the same idea again today with a run of cut outs of gloss card which is also 12 X 12" and needed to cut it is for brayer images...backgrounds for a nativity die cut silhouette. Must admit love it so will using it for getting easy sizing of images wiht minimal waste. Also if you want the measures they are already on the board as used them on the gloss sheet.
Thanks so much for popping over! Shaz in Oz.x
