A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - October 2021


Today is a sad day for me as due to life/health issues I have decided to step down from two Design Teams to give myself a little time to get in a better place.

Thank you to Anne for running such a friendly Design Team that I have been on since April 2020.  Thanks also to my fellow DT members.  I shall miss being part of the DT but I think it fair to give my slot on the DT to someone who can 100% fully commit.

Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge.

This month our sponsor is "The Hungrey JPEG".

For my card I have used elements from the "Christmas Backgrounds", "Christmas Reindeers", "North Pole" and "Santa's Present Delivery".

I took the background, reindeer stables, Santa with his sleigh and the Reindeer Stables sign into Craft Artist so I could lay it out as a scene, adding a sentiment, and then I could copy the stable and reindeer three times so I could decoupage the main image.

The backing paper is from a "Here Comes Christmas CD" by Polkadoodles.

I have simply finished off the card with the sentiment, white flower soft for a snow effect and some sequins.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

CD Sunday Plus - Anything goes (digital images used as well as paper from a Polkadoodles CD)
We Love to Create - Anything goes

This is a lovely card Kym. I like using Craft Artist and can appreciate the amount of time it would have taken to design this. One tip - using the shadow icon (at the top) on each element will help them to stand out and look 3D.
