NGCARDS Christmas: November 2016

Fox in the Snow ...

Good Morning!

They say things happen in three's and that's certainly true considering today's creation!

This is my third card in a row featuring an image that I haven't coloured myself. This image is a little different however as it's actually from a shop bought Christmas card!

I bought a cushion with this exact design on last year and as soon as I saw the design as a set of Christmas cards from the RSPB I knew I had to snap them up. I die cut the image from the original card and used it as a topper on one of mine!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Anything But A Card!

Good Afternoon!

It's time for a new monthly challenge over at PBSC and this month the theme is

'Anything But A Card!'

Usually this theme fills most Cardmakers with dread but I think it's the perfect opportunity to make some gift tags, which is exactly what I've done today.

I have used a Christmas stamp that was released last year and I first stamped it in white ink before layering it slightly off with the same design in a black ink, creating a sort of shadow effect! I also opted for some non - traditional Christmas colours for a change.
