A Christmas Goodbye...

Good morning, and I do hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family or friends!  Perhaps you had snow and your own little snowman.....fun for the little people or the young at heart.  This is my final card as a December GDT member at Craft Your Passion, and I've really enjoyed working with their images.

This week the challenge is to use Red, Green and Cream.  Starting with a cream card blank, I've stamped some green branches, then added layers of green and red cardstock.  My card uses the image 'Bonhomme de neige lanterne' by Cocodingo, which can be found here,  and it's coloured with Prismas and distress inks, with some glamour dust added for the snow.  Then, only a few embellishments and the word NOEL.

Be sure to check out the what the design team has come up with this week, and try your hand at this week's challenge.

Sew Couture

Good morning and Happy Monday to you all!  I imagine you are all preparing for the holidays...baking, shopping, wrapping, and maybe sewing....

This is my second card submission as a GDT member for Craft Your Passion, and for this week's sketch challenge I've used the Couture image, which can be found here at CocoDingo.  It is a quick one to colour and can be used for many occasions.

The frame was made using a Nellie die and rounded corner punch, then adding some silver brads and a number of coloured ribbons.  Some flourishes are stamped on the background paper to give it some pizzaz, and some distress ink has been sponged on the edges.

Be sure to check out the challenge this week for more inspiration from the talented DT members, and the chance to win a lovely prize.
