Five In One Challenge Card

Once you start making a card, it's surprising how many challenges it sometimes ends up being suitable for.

I made a card last night (Sunday) and used the sketch from the JUST CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAYS blog, after turning it round. I'd already coloured the Holly image in using watercolour paints and realised it fitted with PAPERTAKE WEEKLY's pink/orange/brown, MY TIME TO CRAFT's hat and adding the right sentiment meant that it fitted with ONE STOP CRAFT CHALLENGE's sorry challenge. After photographing it, I also found that I'd completed DOTTIE'S WORLD's get the feeling as I'd used ribbon and velvet brads.

I'm late uploading it for some of the challenges, but never mind. I made it because I wanted to, adding in the challenges was a bonus. The Holly image is available for download as part of a collection exclusively from Charmed. While you're there, look out for the latest utterly amazing collection ~ Holly and Madison's World Tour.

Christmas and Birthday

Just Christmas and Birthday Cards' Challenge Sketch on Monday was this

So, a Christmas and a Birthday card with it. Here's what I made:

I've made pockets inside this card and popped the green card in there just to show you. At this stage, I have no idea what I'm going to put in them, but I know that I'll come up with something. maybe a stamped and watercoloured image on one side and the wording on the other? A lovely poem perhaps? I'll be sure to show you when I've done it though. And yes, I have noticed the pink ink on the inside! I'm going to use the ink to add a distressed look to the white of the card before I give it away. Mistakes happen for a reason.

Take care
