Christmas Cheer

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and this week our theme is 'Paint the Town Red' - we would like to see lots of RED and don't forget Christmas projects only.

I have used toppers and papers from a Crafter's Companion kit - I don't know why I buy these, they just sit on the shelf collecting dust, but I am determined to use some of them up this year.  I used the inspiration sheet for the basic design of my card but stepped it up a little by adding some bits and pieces from my stash.


I used some gold Mirri card for the base and die cut some scalloped circles for the toppers to sit on. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and I have also put this on a Mirri card base.

I have used another topper and some of the card stock to decorate the inside of my card.


This week we have two fabulous sponsors again: 


With a Prize of 3 digis

and


Who have some gorgeous new and vintage ribbons to choose from


With a prize of a £10 voucher

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 263 - A Touch of Gold
Completely Christmas Challenge 3 - Anything Goes
CHNC Challenge Extra for March - Anything Christmas
Crafty Girls Challenge 14 - Anything Goes

Make sure you pop over to the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog and take a look at the fabulous DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our 'Paint the Town Red' challenge - don't forget it must be a Christmas card.
Thank you so much for visiting me today, I always appreciate you taking the time to pop in.

    Gorgeous card Pauline - love the fabulous colours and great design - I too am so guilty of buying kits that I think would be great for 'quick makes' and then they sit in a drawer unused. Like you I am determined to use them this year - and NOT buy any more lol!!!
    Have a great weekend.
