Good morning, our May challenge at Crafty Calendar begins today- the theme for this month is ANYTHING BUT SQUARE. There is no sponsor this month as sadly they closed down but Sue has come up trumps with a very generous prize for our lucky winner
4 polymer stamps and a paper pad- all from Polkadoodles- I would enter myself if I could!
I made an easel card- a Christmas one! The stamp is Stamping Bella, coloured with markers, I sponged DI on the background and flicked with white ink for snow. Papers from stash, red ricrac trim, stamped and embossed sentiment and some die cut snowflakes.
I hope you find the time to take a look at the challenge blog- you'll find some wonderful inspiration from the rest of the girls, then why not join in- it could be you who wins the fabulous prize this month.
Thanks for visiting
Chris

ReplyDeleteShame yet another craft store has closed Chris, so many going that way. You have really captured the cold winter feel on your card and like the offset easel design.

Gorgeous colours and your colouring of the image.I love their images but I think those stick legs so hard to colour in. It is very much a case of hold my breath and hope the pen doesn't wobble.!! Such a shame to hear another company has closed its doors.Hugs Mrs A.

Secrets To Stamping
Chris, Bella is such a fun gal to stamp. I've done a couple of Christmas cards with her. I'm so glad you decided to let her visit the Creative Creases Challenge. I also love the paper you chose. Do you have instructions for this fold?

Chris, this is such a great card. I love all the thought and detail that you put into it. The snowy scene is so true to life! It’s easy to imagine how cold-yet stylish-she is! The easel card is so cool too. You’ve really done a great job. Thanks for entering it at Christmas BINGO Challenges!
