1st Xmas Card/1st Challenge!

That's right, I have attempted to get into this early Xmas mode and have made an Xmas card which also doubles as my entry into my first ever challenge! - on my visits in blogland I have seen many of you doing these and I keep saying to myself "I must do one!", but never got round to doing so, so as yesterday the 1st WOJ challenge blog went live with their 1st chellenge - I to took the opportunity to enter my 1st challenge, hence this is my entry for it, the sketch has been set by Katharina, the only rule is that you have to use one WOJ stamp, I have used "Charlotte riding reindeer", the "village scene" stamp is from Particraft and the background papers are from Pink Petticoat.

BUT it doesn't end here..........I am also making another card for another challenge blog which I will post details of later.....there's no stopping me now!!!

Whiff of Joy

Whiff of Joy is a new stamp company about to launch tomorrow! and I wish Katharina and all her team all the very best. The stamps are gorgeous and you can have a peak in her blog. The design team have already been selected (congratulations to all!) and she is still looking (but only 'till 30/7/08) for a guest designer, so despite the longshot and the timescale (as I only stumbled onto this yesterday!...), I thought I would still give it ago and above you can see my card. I have used Sweet Art Ebony stamp "Pen Pal", K&Co. paper, embelishment was made with fimo and coloured with Ranger alcohol gold ink, image was coloured with distress pads and the rest is from my own stash. Hope you like it!...
