Hello
Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore.
The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 30th December.
Gecko Galz is kindly sponsoring this month's challenge.
Here is a card I made with the Cuties at Christmas collage set and La Boheme digital paper.
I used the collage image as a card topper, simply using a cutting die to give it some shape and cutting a larger gold mat. These were popped up on foam tape on top of the beautiful La Boheme paper with a die cut snowflake border beneath it.
I die cut a selection of foliage and made a poinsettia with my favourite die. The die cut sentiment was cut into two parts and adhered to the image.
My second card has the same layout, but this time I used a star Impresslit to create a 3D ribbon across the centre and some die cut lace to add along the side of the image mat. The image is from the Once Upon a Christmas collage set and the paper is another one from the La Boheme kit..
Here is a close up:
Many thanks to Leanne at Gecko Galz for supporting the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge
