SFTW #6 & SCSC #40

This weeks Stampin 4 the weekend has the colour combo "Strawberries dipped in chocolate" {red and brown} which provided the base for my card of which The Secret Crafter saturday challenge provided a fab sketch by Jane

Now i know my card doesn't quite look good enough to eat as the colours suggest! but, I am really trying hard to get xmas out the way early this year, well the cards at least lol

Thanks for visiting, come back soon x

Materials used: BG & DCWV papers, MS Punch, Slice for die cut shapes, xmas shaped buttons, extra cute Panduro stamp coloured with copics and lantern highlighted with spica.

One little card...so many challenges!

OK so i've kinda gone all out on this one and managed to combine 6 different challenges which i think is a record for me.

...

Firstly i followed Donna's fab sketch over at Stamping for the Weekend #5, Pile It On has the prompt to use 3 different embellishments, then there is both Secret Crafter #39 which is to use 3 ribbons and Creative Card Crew #18 which also has ribbons as their prompt.

I managed to squeeze in some Hearts to fulfill the challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar #59 and last but by no means least Just Magnolia #12 has Charms as there prompt.

...

I had to make the card in a hurry as i was only told today it was needed for saturday! to be posted tomorrow!!!

but i got there in the end, and i don't think it came out half bad, in fact am rather quite chuffed with it lol

Thanks for coming to visit me, come back any time x
