Good morning, I hope you are safe and well. This year has flew by so quickly, but I love Christmas so I don't mind. Are you ready for the festivities, I seem to be early this for a change, my tree is up, the presents are bought and wrapped, so other than some Christmas baking earlier to the big day and I still need to make a few more Christmas cards I think I'm all set to enjoy the build up to the holiday.
As it is the first Saturday in December we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is Winter/Christmas.
For my card I have used:
- The ornament/bauble die is from day 1 of the 2025 Spellbinders 12 days of Stitchmas calendar. I didn't do any stitching on this occasion just layered the stitching detail die cuts on top in the same colour tone on tone.
- The holly sprig is from the Sizzix 664221 Large Funky Festive die set.
- The sentiment from the Spellbinders Mistletoe Greetings press plate hot foiled in in white onto black card.
- The background looks black but it is actually the darkest of dark greens that I own (Papermill Direct Royal Green Sirio Colour Card) with a splatter of white paint.
The colour choice of the baubles/ornaments are non traditional and based on on the colour pallet one of the cards from the Spellbinders Holiday DIY Color deck Expansion Pack. I used Spellbinders Colorwheel cardstock in Tutu, Blush and Malibu.
The winner of this months challenge will win two digital images
