Morning Everyone,
It's the start of a new challenge at Allsorts today and I have chosen the optional theme, alongside Anything Goes, which is 'Traditional Christmas Colours.'
For my card I have used a preloved stamp called Snowy Postcard from Stampendous recently bought on a FB declutter page. I have inked the edges with antique linen Distress ink and coloured the holly and cottages with copics. Glitter has been added to the snow. I have used some tartan paper in red, green and gold from a First Edition pad and matted everything with gold paper.
I haven't added a sentiment as wherever I tried it just didn't look right so nothing added. A few pearls were added for the berries on the holly.
There are two prizes, one is a Tim Holtz Festive Foliage stamp and the other is a £10 voucher for a digital prize, both from Buddly Crafts.
There are two weeks for the challenge and you can pop over to the challenge here to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.
I would like to enter:
