A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - September 2021

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 "SheepSki Designs":

When I saw this image "Rudolf's Mischief - image no 36"  I had to use this one.  You get a Father Christmas and a Rudolph image.  On this occasion I just chose to use the Rudolph off-the-page image.

 I have coloured the image in with Promarkers, inked around the image with Tim Holtz's Gathered Twigs distress ink, added Stickles glitter glue to Rudolph's hat trim and pom-pom and added Glossy Accents to his nose to make it lovely and shiny.

The backing papers are all from my stash and I have distressed with gathered Twigs distress ink and my blending brushes.  I have also used Dolly Dimples wood effect card.

I have finished the card off quite simply as I think it's perfect for a young male adult so I have used "Happy Christmas" Lisa Horton stamps, red/white twine and some die-cut stars.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Thanks

A few months ago I won a challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and got to pick some nice goodies from their shop to come across the water to the UK.  I picked a stamp set from Stampendous called "Dog Kisses" and I thought it would be perfect to break them out for this thank you card.

I have coloured the images in with Promarkers and fussy cut them out.

The card and layers have been made using my Sentimentally Yours Elegant Eyelet Square Dies.  I love this dies but those pesky little pieces from the eyelet holes get everywhere.  You think you've got them all and next time you come to craft you find even more.  This time though the eyelet pieces were saved and I used them in my shaker card - waste not, want not I say!!

The backing papers I have used from The Works and the card is made with my wood effect Dolly Dimples card which is excellent quality.

I have finished the card off quite simply with a Sentimentally Yours Double Debossed Tag die and I then used a "thanks" stamp from my collection and added some fibres to the tag to match the tone of the card.

Fingers crossed the recipients like it!!
