Happy Christmas

 This is my inspiration for the midway point of the July challenge at 12 Months of Christmas Cards Challenge.  The optional twist for July is Anything Goes Christmas, but they must still be Christmas Cards.

The outside of the card: 

and the inside of the card

 

I have used the July digital paper by Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The images are all stamps which I have had for some time (possibly from a magazine).  The card design is by Justine Hovey from The Stress Free Cardmaking Summit in May 2025.  Colouring of the images is with copic markers.

Spring adds new beauty and life to all that is

The latest Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends is now live.  The sponsor for this challenge is RAM Stamps.

I have used an image from RAM Stamps called Reading in the Garden

I also used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  Colouring is with copic markers.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva.

Fly

The latest Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends is sponsored by Star Stampz.

 I have used an image by Star Stampz called Spring Bumble Bee

 

I also used some paper from a paper pack (I'm not sure of the brand as the cover has gone AWOL).  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I added some foam letter stickers to spell out fly.
