Christmas with no red or green!!

Ho, ho, ho....Happy Wednesday!

I hope you're having a fab week...why the festive feel I hear you ask...well its time for another challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin! This month we'd like to see projects that feature no red or green....now this might sound simple...but be warned...do not overlook the images in your backing papers! I am speaking from experience as my original DT card for this challenge had a brown and white colour theme to it.....until I realised that I'd used backing paper covered in robins...complete with their red breasts! Doh!!

Anyway, here is my card for this month's challenge.....

 

In some ways I'm quite glad that I had to go back to the drawing board as I actually prefer this card to the first one I created!

 

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers and then I've created my background with a collection of blue papers, both patterned and plain. Finally I added my sentiment and some faux stitching to the edge.

Christmas...but not traditional colours!!

Hello there...fancy seeing you here again today!

This is my second post for today...if you are looking for my Sweet Stampin blog please scroll down!

Sooo....it was fab to see all your snowpeople over at My Time to Craft last week! This week we've got another Christmas challenge...but this time we don't want to see any tradtional colours!! Get your thinking caps on.....

 

I love these bright colours...perfect on a miserable grey December day! I think they kind of remind me of Christmas lights! Anyway, I've coloured my fab penguin image with my Promarkers and have added some gloss to his hat using my glossy accents.

Christmas without red or green!

Hello there! Happy Tuesday!

Its lovely to see you today...I hope you are keeping well! So, its the beginning of December and I am definitly enjoying the Christmas spirit! I am visiting a big Christmas market with my mum and sister tonight and I can't wait! After the fair we'll go for some dinner too, its a lovely tradition that we have started in recent years.

So, another Tuesday means its time for a new challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion....and this week we're flying in the face of tradition! We'd like to see your Christmas creations...but you cannot use any red or green on your card anywhere!!

I've opted for a modern sentiment to go with my modern Christmas card.....

 

I love this sentiment...it always makes me giggle!! I've opted for pinks and blues for my card, along with that fab Merry Christmas backing paper.

 

My cute DigiStamp Boutique image has been coloured with Promarkers and I've asdded a little sparkle to her shopping bags with my Stickles. A simple, but pleasing card I think!
