Guest Designer at CHNC

Good morning everyone, I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. Today I'm lucky enough to be a guest designer at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge. I love making Christmas cards in fact I think they're my favourite type to make. This week's theme is "For a Child" and the challenge is being sponsored by Bugaboo. I've used a Bugaboo image on my card.


Since my colouring mojo is still awol I've digitally paper pieced the image using papers from a free Christmas Around the World download then die cut with a square nestie. Image has been printed twice and layered up. The ribbon and bell are recycled from a well known brand of chocolate reindeer and I've decorated some chipboard pieces for the final Ho.



Do pop over to the challenge blog to see Hazel's inspiration and I hope you can join in this week.

  24. Carol, Cute cared, I think it's great when you get something cool like chocolate and it comes with things you can use in your art, that makes it a double treat. Thank you for sharing this on Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent.
