I found a link to a Christmas Challenge blog over on The Crafty Elf's blog so I thought I'd give it a go - if you want to play too pop over here to the "Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge" as a new challenge will be starting soon.
The challenge is to create a Christmas card using Pink and/or Purple.
As you can see, I went for both on my gems and used some scalloped mauve CS for the base. The ornament is a die-cut felt one (DoCrafts Christmas promotion - last year).
The fir branch was created by punching lots of small fir sprigs using my Martha Stewart punch. I used Ice Stickles to attach them to the card so that there was a bit of a frosty feel to the branch.Actually it is quite fitting that I've made a Christmas card this evening as tomorrow starts the Christmas in July event over at Pinnacle Crafts. Can't wait to see what Andy has been making for the card displays.........................
