I combined the red and white snowflakes in the paper with an image that suited red and white colouring.

CHNC - Coral (underskirt)

I have used a red and white paper from a christmas paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio.  The image is from Star Stampz and coloured with copic markers.  I added some Glossy Accents to the candy cane.  I attached the image to the left side of the gate fold card and added some red pearls and a candy cane embellishment to the right hand side.

Freebie Fun

I created this card using the freebie image available at Beccy's Place:

I have used a silver paper from a christmas paper pad by Craft Smith.  I liked that the paper followed the same pattern as on the stocking.  The image is from Beccy's Place and is coloured with copic markers.  I added some silver Perfect Pearls to the cross pieces on the stocking and some Glossy Accents to the bells and baubles.  I also used some silver glitter ribbon and a silver glitter dome.  Matting is silver metallic paper.

Let it Snow

This paper had a great sentiment on it - and perfectly placed too - so I decided to work around it with my design.

http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/chnc-challenge-307-colour-coral-little_12.html

I have used a paper from a christmas paper pad by Craft Smith.  The image is from Di's Digis and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I matted with some blue glitter cardstock and added a snowflake embellishment.

BINGO at 12 Months of Christmas

It is midway through the challenge at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up - and our theme this time is a BINGO Challenge.  We are sponsored this challenge by Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.

I have used a paper and a sentiment from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The line I followed is the bottom one of star + doily + purple + embossing + string.

The embossed panel is matted with some blue cardstock.  I used a white doily and some purple and white string.

Spring Daffodil

I love it when you see the daffodils start flowering - a hint of warmer temperatures to come!

Brown Sugar - Anything Goes
http://brownsugarchallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/challenge-224-anything-goes.html

I have used a paper and border from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The circle and rectangle pieces are offcuts from other cards - I think the polka dot one may be Rosie's Studio and the other one may be Kaisercraft.  The image is from The Stamping Boutique and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added some faux stitching using Distress Marker - Mustard Seed.

Over The Edge

As well as creating the two opposites cards today, I managed to do one of the ones that I missed while I was unwell.  Progress!

CRAFT Challenge - Winter
http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/challenge-389-10th-of-november-winter.html

I have used an embossed cardstock from American Crafts.  The image and sentiment are from Beccy's Place and coloured with copic markers.  I added some polka dot grosgrain ribbon, used cream cardstock for matting and also added some coral coloured pearls from Rosie's Studio.

Opposites

I actually used two opposites in these cards - the colours reversed but also one has the embossing raised and the other has the embossing indented.

Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/welcome-to-pennys-challenge-303.html

I have used matching embossing cardstock on the two cards - the green one is indented and the red one is raised.  The image used on both cards is from Beccy's Place and coloured with copic markers R000, G000, G14, G17, R46, R59 reversing the colours on each card.  I also used some red and green cardstock for the matting of the images.
