Hullo there everyone!
...Well, wanted to do a challenge for Sarn's Rudolph day, or Christmas Challenge .. and also want to welcome some new Wonderful Encouragers on my blog. So special thank you to Monique vmb, (who has a Google + profile, so no details so Monique if you see this please let me know, so can encourage you by joining your blog, too ). Thank you VERY much also to Annie and Nan.G of WOYWW!
Well, my card is bit of a "cheater's" in way as used a topper, which I made with a "Pass-it-On" card mounted.
Saw them last year at Christmas time and thought they would make great card toppers, although not meant for that purpose - a pack of 25 was $1.25 .. howzat?

This first one is for Hazelnut's Christmas challenge(and all for her June extra Challenge) - as this week's challenge is green with holly, etc. This was vellum, coloured on back with green dye ink, embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflake (Disc.) EF, then rubbed over with gold pigment ink for highlight. Corner holly is Martha Stewart pine leaf punch, with bling.
However this and the rest can go in Sarn's challenge have have basically just varied the folders which will give as go along.
I have some of the card toppers left, and if you would like some, please put "YES, please" at end and will choose someone out out hat! they wont be gold mounted or have the bling on them, as I added that.However this and the rest can go in Sarn's challenge have have basically just varied the folders which will give as go along.
I have made ten cards with this in all, eight are shown as two are similar but they are all different. as they are made with lots of Snippets will hop over to Di's Snippets challenge too and also with the Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.
Many thanks every one of you for popping over for a peek and chat and may God bless your day wherever you may be!

Hi Shaz, gorgeous collection of cards - and the 'toppers' were such a bargain too :) Love all the beautiful backgrounds. Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Shaz. I love how they are all a wee bit different yet that focal point stays the same. I think my personal fave is the one that has the gold on the embossed portions.
ReplyDeleteYes Please
