Good morning friends
It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog. Jessie Rone is our Hostess for October, with Tangii Crain as our Guest Designer. Jessie's challenge this week is to make a Christmas Card.
So, even though it's Halloween today, I have a Christmas card to share!
The snowflake was die cut from white card stock, then coloured with pearlescent PanPastels. The outer edge of the label was done the same way. I love the shimmer that the Pastels give the pieces.
Inside is a Pop-up - a die that I've had for a very long time but have only used a couple of times. The last time was well over a year ago and when I used it this time I realized why I like the Pop-it Ups dies by Karen Burniston so much. They just work. This one was a royal pain to get to fold properly, and if you were a beginner at Pop-Up's it would definitely be frustrating.
It came out OK in the end, with all the colour being added with PanPastels.
LOVE the new calligraphy dies at Elizabeth Craft Designs. They are by artist Suzanne Cannon and they are just gorgeous. This one was layered over several layers of snowbanks, cut with the Outdoor and Beach Edges Pop-it Ups dies.
Check out the C4C blog to see how the Crazies have been inspired by the challenge. We'd sure love to see your take on it, so be sure to stop by the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and link up your creations. If you are uploading to an online gallery, please use the keyword C4C310.
