Rudolf....

I hope your all having a fab weekend & the weather is being good for you. We popped out yesterday to one of the local craft shops & I got a few essentials....I was stamping the other day using my Archival (which is one of the first things I got when I started stamping ohhhh about 8yrs ago now) I noticed it was stamping out very well so decided I needed a new one....can't believe its lasted that long & I do use it all the time!! 

It's the start of a fab new challenge over at 'Sparkles Christmas' today.
This month we want you to use

NONE TRADITIONAL COLOURS!

so no red, green & gold! Remember its a Christmas challenge!

I needed to design a quick card that I could batch make. After a few weeks of faffing this is what I came up with! I am going to spend a few days next month just making loads of these, using up old papers & things. Then they will be bagged up & sent to the 'Greyhound Rescue' & our local wildlife centre for them to sell & make a few pennies to help them out!



Challenges I Would Like To Enter
Alphabet Challenge- one word sentiment
Jingle Belles- fab sketch
Happy Campers- use a stamp
Christmas At Sweet Stamping- winter animals
Crafty Boots- Christmas!

Image & Colouring Medium
Image- 'reindeer' from the stamp set our of 'Vintage Christmas' magazine by HOTP
Image & Sentiment stamped using 'rich cocoa' Memento ink from Natalie & Amy's

Papers & Embellishments
DP, ribbon, twine, button & sentiment all from the 'Vintage Christmas' magazine by HOTP
My stash brown card
'Star Dust' Stickles from Natalie & Amy's

Tools & Glues
