Pollycraft Monday Challenge *1* Christmas-no red!

Hello and thanks for visiting...


Today we have set the VERY first challenge over at the new blog...POLLYCRAFT MONDAY CHALLENGE

And its SOOOOO exciting!! I just can't wait to see what kind of response we get, and to view all your wonderful creations!!

The Design Team (YES...I know, i can't believe I have a DT!!!) have come up with some brilliant cards for this challenge.. please take a look at their blogs for more inspiration... (links on the right)

This week we have challenged you to create a Christmas card without using the most christmassy colour of all....RED

Here is my take....

I've used The MO-Having a ball stamp, but (if you'll pardon the expression) I've cut his ball off! (he should be sitting on a snowball!!) coloured with just normal pencil crayons and highlights added with fineliners...

I've then had him 'sitting on' a strip cut from the Happy-Holly-Days Christmas Wishes papers (which i've just 'aged' slightly by adding some distressed edges, and dots)

Behind this i've used the magnolia swirly star stamp, and added little gems...

The backing papers are DCWV, Flowers and ribbon from my stash, Brad - Laura Ashley.

very 'untraditional' but then ...thats me!!

Hope you like it...

we'd love you to join in with the challenge....

All we ask is that you have at least one pollycraft design on your project... Decoupage...stamped image..backing paper...the choice is yours!

Visit the challenge for more details...

Have fun
