I didn't think I was as quite as late as last week - but I was - the clock struck just as I was going to enter Jingle Belles challenge - :(
This was not an easy challenge for me - Jingle Belles wanted 3 different patterned papers. I don't find it easy mixing patterns and colours. However Winter Wonderland asked for Blue & White for their blog birthday celebration blog hop & challenge.
So I rooted through my papers and found some 12 x 12 blue patterned paper which I used as the background on my card. I found some blue & white glitter card with snowflakes - just right for Christmas Card Challenges, and then having run out of ideas for patterned papers I resorted to my coredinations card which I embossed with my cuttlebug & Swiss Dots embossing folder.
The card is then finished with some ribbon for CHNC challenge, and some bells for Bah! Humbug!
I'm also entering the card in the Christmas Cards All Year 'Round June Challenge - Anything Goes
Last weekend I went to a paint fusion workshop with Sheena Douglass. I have tried to to take a photo of my creation but haven't been successful - I will have another try later.
