I finally made it back into my craft room! Hooray! Feeling much better this week, thank you to everyone who sent well wishes.
Today brings the third Quixotic Challenge! Unbelievable. The weeks are going by SO quickly.
This week’s challenge has been set by the lovely Judy, who has asked us to create cards using a colour combo:
*** Kraft & Red ***
We would like you to create a project that features the colour combo Kraft & Red.
This could be a card, a tag, an altered item, a scrapbook page, anything you fancy!
NOTE: If you don’t have Kraft, feel free to substitute with any brown card stock you have!
As you all know, I LOVE Kraft card stock, so this was a fun one for me. And since the weeks are flying by, what better project for this challenge than a Christmas card?
I’ve used one of the gorgeous Belles ‘n Whistles Christmas Collection stamps – Gingerbread Love (available HERE). Such an adorable image. I’ve coloured using Copics, and accented with a white gel pen and some Stickles in Candy Cane (available HERE).
I sprayed the Kraft card stock with Shimmerz Spritz in Baby’s Breath to give it a gorgeous shimmer, and the scalloped heart frame on the front was cut from red card and covered with Shimmerz paint in “Fire Engine Red”. (Shimmerz are available HERE.)
The ribbon is from my Limited Edition Christmas Kit (available HERE) and I tied the bow using the Bow-Easy (available HERE).
That’s all for today folks! Hope you enjoyed checking out my card. Do make sure you stop by the Quixotic Challenges Blog to peek at the rest of the team’s work! We look forward to seeing your own creations very soon!
