Hello, crafting friends!
It was Rudolph Day yesterday (the 25th of the month) and I made a Christmas card... but didn't get it photographed before I lost the light. Oh the trials of a crafter and blogger! Anyway, it's here today instead:
It's a really simple card - a white card panel embossed with Altenew's Berried Cotoneaster embossing folder, coloured with coloured pencils and inked around the edges with pale blue ink. I added a sentiment from a Uniko set and mounted the panel onto some muted red card before attaching to a card base.
Coloured pencils are maybe not the ideal medium for colouring embossed panels but it does work. I liked the soft colours here which I thought gave a kind of frosty look.
CHALLENGES
I'm linking up with Rudolph Days of course; also ABC Christmas where E is for Embossing, and Can You Handle the Pressure where Anything using Embossing Folders Goes, with an optional theme of Birds. The EF was having its first airing so I'm taking it over to Darnell's NBUS Challenge.
AND IN OTHER NEWS
I went shopping at my local pet food shop yesterday. While I was in the middle of loading bags of frozen meaty chunks and sprats into the boot of my car, a diminutive lady came round the corner with a large chocolate lab. The lab took one look at me and voted me Shopper of the Year. He made a beeline for me, bringing the tiny lady with him - perhaps rather quicker than she would have liked! She and I had a nice chat and the lab allowed me to make a fuss of him, but alas, there were no treats forthcoming and he walked away dejectedly, wondering how he could have been so deceived in a person!
