Hi crafting buddies, hope you are all well. Bit overcast here today!! Here is the card I was making last night after receiving Teri's candy. I couldn't wait to use the Smirk "Christmas Celebrations" stamps and here it is. I have used the sketch from CardPatterns shown below.
It is quite a nice simple one with not too many layers - if you want of course!!!! I also decided that as there were a couple of challenges involving pink (one of my favourites) and brown I would do those. The papers I used were from Funky Fairys - Chocolate Covered Christmas and Simply Brushed - I have used these several times now. Another favourite is the hot pink glitter card I have mounted the image on.
The ribbon was a freebie from one of the crafting magazines. I have coloured the images with my C'Aran D'Ache watercolour pencils and added crystal glitter to the hats - again it doesn't show up well but is there honest!!!
So then onto the challenges I will enter this card in.
Our Creative Corner - Hot Pink, Light Pink, White and Chocolate Chip,
Our Creative Corner - Hot Pink, Light Pink, White and Chocolate Chip,
Cute Daisy May - texture - that will be the ribbon,
C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Pink and Brown,
Stamp Something - favourite colours or papers and
Christmas Stamping All Year Long - Christmas card with non traditional colours.
Do you know - well you probably won't believe me but I don't set out to do lots of challenges. I do check a lot and write them all down. It just sort of happens that way.
Anyways up, as usual please send me your happy thoughts.

Hi Ali, I love your cute card, the image is so sweet!
If you pop back to my blog you will see lots of kind people have told me how to schedule posts (I would email you but I don't have your email addy). I think the key thing is to save the post in drafts before changing the date in the "post options" section.
