Well thank everyone who had a guess at my sneak peak yesterday - it was so much fun to see what you were all coming up with. Colour schemes and fancy corners and all manner of challenges, but the only one to get it right (at the time of writing this) was Ann at Spirit of Creativity, who rightly suggested that our challenge was...
BAUBLES
Well done Ann - you can spend the rest of the day feeling really pleased with yourself now. Just sorry there isn't a prize for you, but then again you never know what the postie might drop on your mat with all those birthday cards!
To create my bauble card I use some totally wow paper from Dovecraft that already had beautiful baubles on it. Unfortunately these are mostly hidden under the centre piece, but you can see them a little and get the idea.All the other papers I used are by HOTP and DCWV. The central bauble was cut on my Cricut and is one of the shapes on the Winter Cheer cartridge, which is full of gorgeous stuff and has been so useful over the last year.
After matting the bauble onto a white base card I added gemstones (my bargain ones from Poundland) and silver peel offs. Then I added a bow and a couple of tags to complete the bauble. As a final touch I added silver border and corner peel offs to draw the eyes in to the centre of the card.
In addition to being my card for the new challenge at Bah! Humbug! my card is also for the challenges at...
