Today see's the start of Lady Annes Christmas Progressive Freebie Challenge and to start off the challenges you will get two images from Crafting with Jack.
I couldn't wait to get started when I got mine, the first one for me will be a real 'go to' image as you can whip up a card in no time that looks stunning
I managed to print six images to a sheet of card (so I made six,lol). I coloured the image with Promarkers and added some glitter to the starts to make them pop. I cut them out into squares then rounded the corners with a clorner punch. I had some delish paper that I bought in a funny little shop we call the shed shop. He sells end of line stationery and sometimes some craft stuff and this one I spotted and got 12 sheets for a pound, what a bargain! I think it is the perfect background for this image and gives it some richness
and as I said, I made six! So quick and easy and great effect - fabulous to make six cards in an evening!
The second image is equally a 'go to' image.
Again coloured with Promarkers, I added a touch of glitter to the flame and the centres of the poinsettias - what a universally lovely Christmas image! I cut it out using a Spellbinders label die and glittered the edge to match my background paper - I made four of these (I got four on a sheet) in an evening so another quickie to make some cards in a hurry (I always forget someone!) I think they look great with different backgrounds too
I'm sure I will be making some more of these too!

Laurian, I love this pretty Christmas project. And I am so jealous that you are getting a head start on Christmas cards. EVERY year I say I am going to have my Christmas cards done early and every year I fail miserably at that goal. :) Thanks so much for sharing your card at the CDAC Anything Goes Challenge.
ReplyDeleteLaurian, you might want to add a link to the CDAC challenge in your post. It is hard to remember all those links...so just a little reminder. :)
