Ok - who's getting ready for Christmas lol!
In the craft world it probably starts inabout July - but if you want to make your own Christmas cards with lots of time to spare for this Christmas - you should start .... last month
At Winter Wonderland Challenge we encourage you to make cards all year round and we have a lovely new challenge starting today. It's a special rememberence of our lovely Eileen who was our previous DT leader. She sadly passed away very unexpectedly this time last year. So this challenge is just a little tribute from the team to a lovely lady.
our theme is
Anything Christmas Goes
our fabulous sponsors provided the team with some lovely images
and I just had to choose this lovely image
called Poinsettia available HERE
I printed it out 4 times and coloured it up with my Spectrum Noir pens trying to add a bit of realism with touches of red and green. Then I fussy cut and embossed 3 of them them using the basic flower shaping mold from Heartfelt Creations to give it dimension. I really like how it turned out - I particularly like that the image isn't symetrical because it makes it look more realistic, that isn't the norm for me because generally I'm a pretty symetrical girl!
I wasn't 100% sure whether i liked this card totally white - so i cut two frames for it - this is the other version - what do you think? - black or white?
(yes the first one's a better photo lol)
