Welcome to December - Woo Hoo!

Morning readers,

It's time for another challenge over at the Love To Craft Challenge Blog where I am fortunate to be on the Design Team. It's a monthly ANYTHING GOES challenge and I'd be delighted to have you join us sometime ...... here's my make for this month's challenge -


My anniversary card
Just the card! to show the stencil detail a little better
  
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:
  • White 15cm square, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
  • Snippets of card in red and white
  • Spellbinders fancy dies to die cut my image panel and matting layer
  • Carabelle stencil through which I applied Memento London fog ink, using an Aldi stencil brush
  • Avery Elle sentiment stamped using Versafine onyx black ink
  • Habico image stamped using Versafine onyx black ink
  • Hobbycraft clear embossing powder applied (three times) to emboss and lovely high gloss finish and heat set. One the third heating some of the embossing powder remained around the couple .... I thought about brushing it off but, actually, I quite liked the look ... so I restrained myself!
  • Self adhesive pink glittered "droplets" added, to bling it up a little more
  • My sentiment panel was attached to my card using dimensional foam tape



Additionally, I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. The House That Stamps Built - challenge No. 2818 - ANYTHING GOES - 2nd entry
  2. Crafty Creations - challenge No. 379 - ANYTHING GOES - 2nd entry
  3. Penny's Paper Crafts - challenge No. 408 - ANYTHING GOES
  4. QKR Stampede - challenge No. 324 - ANYTHING GOES
  5. CardzTV - challenge No. 76 - ANYTHING GOES
I LOVE Christmas and, now that it actually IS December I can tell you that my tree is UP!


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
