Hi Crafty Friends,
It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Being a brand new month it's time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Anja de Regt.
Colour
your day!
Anja tells us that December
is a busy month for most of us, it is always good to sit down and do something
relaxing , for her that is what colouring is....For today, Anja challenges us to
colour something on your card/project. It does not have to be a big, just
something. You don’t colour, try using some different colours of ink, or even
some accents....
As mentioned in my blog post yesterday I recently attended a local craft show. While there I discovered a new Aussie Stamp company with some adorable clear stamp sets. Being a local of course I had to buy a couple of sets and yes the two sets I purchased both happened to be Christmas themed haha ... so much for not buying any more this year!
While making another card, I discovered an already die cut base for the Rectangle Pull Card, I must have die cut it some time ago and then changed my mind and did something else. Rather than waste it I decided to use that for my card base. Unfortunately this die set has been discontinued.
I added all three of the cute gingerbread men to my card. I also added some texture to the gingerbread men by adding Nuvo drops in various colours to the icing, buttons, nose and pudding.
When you 'pull' the card open it reveals to rectangle panels with a sentiment.

Super cute - how cool that you discovered a new AUSSIE company! That's awesome!
Adorable stamps, wonderful Christmas card.
pure sweetness
You've done an awesome job creating this card Frances, it's fabulous! Your colouring is wonderful and I love that you've used some Neuvo drops to add dimension and texture to the assorted elements on the gingerbread.
I was directed to your blog by one of my international customers and as soon as I saw your profile picture I recognised you from the show! It was lovely to meet you and have a little chat, and now it's great to see what you've been creating.
Cheers,
Beccy
