The Paper Shelter Christmas Challenge - "Anything Goes" Challenge

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, Well this is our last Challenge for 2015 and this is because we want all the girls to be able to take a break with their families we shall not be commenting on your entires so please understand this as its probably going to be a very busy one as its a "Anything Goes" one. We want to wish all Paper Shelter Followers a very Happy Christmas and we shall be back with a normal Challenge on January 7th with the B Team.
But as always we are being sponsored by Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a lucky winner of this Challenge $30. to spend on their website

And as always this comes with the rule that you must have used one of their images on your card and this could be either a Image or printable and you will find lots to choose from on their website The Paper Shelter, but even if you havent used one they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice, so you really cannot loose by taking part in our Challenge. Also please remember that we only allow 3 entries into our Challenges and at least one of those must carry one of our TPS images.
And now for my Card I do hope you like it

I chose this image as I thought it was a bit of fun especially as at this time of the year a lot of you like to go to parties and even celebrate the New Year at a Masked Ball, and this young lady is called "Venice Carnival" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, I also used a Nestabilitie Die to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount out of gold card. The Sentiment is a stamp from my stash thats also been stamped and mounted in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is gold card, I also used the background paper from the "Venice Carnival" and you will find it here, on top of this down the edges I have used a punched out border using a Tonic Border Punch, and with a large heart shapped doily I placed the mounted image in the center of my base card with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
To finish of I have used several sizes of pearls in three of the corners. And now that youve seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Teams have created for yours inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Anything Goes" 3 week Challenge.

ABC Challenges - "X is for EXtreme"

Good Morning Crafters, well we are already half way through December and its only 10 days to Christmas, I sincerely hope that you have posted your cards and you are almost completed the present list and now all you need to think about is the food.
Well over on ABC Challenges we have reached the letter "X" and for this its all about being Extreme, and we are being sponsored by Marianne Designs

And for my Card I have used both a Marianne Image and a Die

I have used Image HM9436 which is of two young people struggling against the snow, I stamped it out and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Marianne die to cut it out and before removing from the die I inked it through the design to create the effect you can see. The sentiment is also a Marianne one and this was stamped onto a piece of card then cut out with the banner die, I used a blue inkpad though the openings of the die to also create the same effect as the mounted image.
I then created a background by using double sided stickyback paper and some large german glass glitter to create the snowy effect, and placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
The final flourish are the 3 snowflakes which were punched out with a Martha Steward punch and placed around the mounted image.

And I thought I would use this cute image of Andy for my Card

This is "Andy on a Sledge" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens afterwards I used a oblong die from Presscut and then used a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is also from Pink Gem designs and I cut this out with a circle die and mounted it with the same colour card as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card the first mount is the same dark blue card and the papers are from Pink Gem designs and this one is "Small Snowflake" and you will find them here, and I have used three colours, blue, red, and beige all with white snowflakes on, I also used a snowflake border punch down the edges of the red one and placed the beige paper on a piece of the same blue card.
I then wrapped a snowflake ribbon around the bottom and also added a blue one underneath, I then placed my mounted image towards the left with the sentiment at the top on the right handside.
