A Challenge card


This is the sketch for this weeks challenge over on the Allsorts challenge blog



As I wanted to join in the challenge over at Dotties World which is Anything goes - Red I have combined the 2 challenges & used red mainly on my card.


I coloured the cute image with my copics & mounted it on the scalloped circle cut with my nesties & used my gel roller pen to do the faux stitching round the edge.
I added white buttons


and die cut snowflakes along with the merry christmas sentiment matted again in red card & raised on sticky fixers


and added the ribbon bow & pearls to finish ...............


I'd also like to enter this for the PB at Allsorts challenge - thanks Brenda for the heads up :-)

Hi Rachel

Sorry about the last post !

What an adorable Christmas card. I really love that PB image and it all looks super with the traditional red.

Thank you for joining us at Allsorts Challenge this week and good luck.

Your card would also fit Penny Black at Allsorts and Stampalot challenges this month, both have super prizes.
