Peace on Earth challenge

 Peace on Earth challenge has this picture


I remembered I had some wood veneer reindeers so used those plus a pine tree. I put them on wood patterned background paper that has snowflakes.


I like this one as it is a manly looking card .

While I had them out, I actually made 4 similar cards using red and green reindeers.

Allsorts challenge

 A friend gave me some paper tole items for Christmas card making. Here's my first one.


That bear wearing mittens has 5 layers. Accompanying it was the label that said "Forever friends" which I used as my sentiment. It's a fairly plain card but some people like the pastel look. In my sale box it goes!

I'm entering it at Allsorts challenge where the theme is cute and cuddly. A teddy bear is definitely both cute and cuddly.

Paper players

 This male Christmas card is for Paper Players


It is based on this sketch


The strip down the middle is gold papery ribbon. I recycled the circular sentiment from another Christmas card I was sent last yesr.I decided to put my sentiment in the circle instead of at the bottom left.

Festive Friday and Crafty Catz

 


It's odd socks day at Festive Friday so they want us to choose 3 things from the list.

I have gone with bold colours, sequins and "Be Yourself"


I actually made 3 cards using this paper.

Next, I have a card for Crafty Catz


The criteria ia Anything goes and use dies or punches.

The pale green square is a die cut and the Christmas bauble is also a die cut. I added the black bow and drew in the cord from the top of it.

It also is for CAS on Sunday where they asked us to use a corner of your card.

I made this card using a tiger I fussy cut from an old children's book. I added a matching colourful strip behind my sentiment. 

It will be a thank you card for a neighbour.

 Over at Pinspirational challenges they asked for shapes.

I've made this card which was inspired by the background paper. WAVES.


I cut out extra coloured "oval" shapes to add on top of the waves..

CKC Let's get sketchy

 The 3rd challenge at Counterfeit Kits this month is to use this sketch.


Here's my interpretation using 3 photos of my friend's orchids. I've stayed fairly close to the sketch as you can see.
