Christmas Card Club Challenge #11 - Mistletoe and Wine

 Hi Crafters,

It's Rita's turn to choose our theme this fortnight and she has chosen 

MISTLETOE & WINE

 

After scratching my head trying to think of what I could come up with I came across these images from a Hunkydory kit that fitted perfectly - a few layers, some gingham ribbon and a peel-off border - job done!

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Pop over to the other ladies blogs and see what they have made on this theme, there is sure to be a variety of styles and fabulous cards. The links to their blogs are in  my sidebar under the Christmas Card Club tab.

Enjoy your Sunday, after a busy two days at my monthly Farmers and Craft events on Friday & Saturday I'm putting my feet up!

See you soon,

Lorraine

Christmas Card Club Challenge #11 - Mistletoe & Wine

Hi Crafters,

It's lovely to be back here blogging again after a short blogging break and holiday.

I have been keeping an eye on most of your creations and will be visiting again soon.

I am a day late - good start! - with my Christmas card for our friendly fortnightly challenge but hopefully Rita will forgive me :o)

Rita's theme was MISTLETOE & WINE which made me scratch my head a little as I didn't have anything remotely suitable for this so I thought. However, after a look through my digital stash I found two images from DigiStamp Boutique which I merged together to create my card. I added the lovely music paper as a nod to the song too.

ABC Christmas Challenge - K is for Kissing

Hi Crafters,

It's time to share another Christmas creation for the new challenge at ABC Christmas.

K is for KISSING

(Christmas themed of course)

Our sponsor for this cheeky little challenge is

Wild Orchid Crafts

with a £10 gift voucher for one lucky winner.

Digital crafting is such fun to do especially with the My Craft Studio program and I haven't done this for ages so I decided to create the background digitally using a couple of design collections after I had coloured my stamped image.

This makes it very flat for posting too.

Recipe

Stamped Image - Penny Black 'You're a Treasure'

Medium - Pro/flexmarkers

Digital Papers - Nitwit Christmas Linen Too,

Just So Scrappy - Ooh La La Comfort and Joy

I snipped around the mistletoe leaves very carefully and pushed the stamped oval underneath so it looks dimensional, it is completely flat and it's just the drop shadows that are creating the depth elsewhere on the card.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Creative Fingers - #109 ATG

One Crazy Stamper - May Challenge

Penny Black & More - ATG with a Stamp

CHNC every Saturday - #282 ATG/Cute Christmas
Rudolph Day Challenge - May Challenge

I hope you are well and enjoying a fabulous day.
