Christmas Greetings

 I realised that with everything that has been going on this year with my eyes that I hadn't entered Morgan's Art World Challenge at all.   This particular image worked perfectly with the sketch that I was looking for so this month I'm finally participating in that challenge (along with some others).

Edit - This one glitched when I uploaded it to the Beccy's Place Challenge - I clicked on it and it does go to the correct post (just doesn't display the thumbnail).  Unfortunately, I can't delete it and reload so it will have to stay as it is.

https://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-201-ag-stitched-up-real-or.html

I have embossed the background with an embossing folder.  The papers are both scraps from other cards created this month.  The image is from Morgan's Art World and the sentiment is a cut apart from a Kaisercraft Paper Pad.  I also added some glitter foam snowflakes.

I have followed this sketch (rotated) by Tuesday Morning Sketches:

Merry Christmas

After having one nice sunny day to catch up on the washing, we had mixed weather yesterday and today was cloudy and raining.  Apart from the muggy temperature, it really does not feel like summer.  I wasn't going to create any more cards apart from DT ones but with the weather today I decided I would create a couple for the CRAFT Challenge.  This is the first of them:

Merry Christmas!

It has been a wet day for much of today so I've been inside.  After yesterday, when everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong, I have had a much better day today.  I have finished off a few cards that were close to being finished.  Two of them are for Design Teams but the other two I will share tonight.  This is one of them:

Merry Christmas!

It is looking like it is going to be an overcast day today.  Another good day to be doing things inside.  I didn't have a good day motivation wise yesterday (what could go wrong did go wrong) so hopefully I will actually get some things done today. 

But first, I wanted to share this card that I finished a couple of days ago and had intended sharing yesterday:

Make It Merry

Here is another card using an offcut piece of cardstock as well as an offcut of patterned paper.

I am trying to make each of my cards that I am entering into Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards that use an image not from Beccy's Place still fit the alphabet prompts.  I had a few options on this one but decided to go with the predominant colour of green.

Happy 18th Birthday

I bought a flower maker tool and dies a few years ago.  I had a play with it when I first bought it but hadn't touched since then.  With all the time I have at home at the moment, I got it out and made this flower (which is meant to be a rose).

CRAFT Challenge - Create Your Own Embellishment
https://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/04/challenge-552-create-your-own.html

I have used a digital paper from Trimgym (I'm gradually reducing the number in my stash).  The image is from Morgan's Art World and the sentiment is from Netty's Cards.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I used a light purple paper for the flower but it didn't match the card too well so I sprayed it with Dylusions Ink so that it matched some of the writing on the background paper.  I used stitched circle dies from Memory Box to cut the image and sentiment.
