The Paper Shelters Christmas Break Challenge - Anything Goes

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, well I hope you enjoyed our Blog Hop and soon I will let you know who the lucky comment winner is, hopefully you wont need to wait to long to know.
Anyway today is our last Challenge for 2019 and its a

Anything Goes

one and both the A and B Teams are taking part, and we wont be leaving comments on any of the entries as this is to allow both teams to spend special time with their families and not have to worry a about commenting on your cards, I sincerely hope that you appreciate this and then hopefully they will all come back in January feeling rested and ready to craft again.
 And you will find beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from to. Our Sponsors are and as always our sponsers are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.


But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.
And for my own card I chose to use this image


And this image is called "Aquarius" and you will find it here, I printed it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, afterwards I used a rectangle Spellbinders die to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount out of dark blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card and the backing paper is from the same design set and the image and you will find it here. I then used  printed it onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens afterwards I used a die cut to mount the image before placing it on the backing paper I used a doily behind the image and the final flourish are the gems in three of the corners.
The sentiment is one from my stash that was stamped onto another piece of white card and mounted onto a piece of the same blue card and placed in the bottom right hand corner, with the mounted image in the center.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and take part in our "Anything Goes" Challenge.

This image is called Mad about Goodies  and you will find it here I printed it onto white card and then used my copic pens to colour it, afterwards I used a square die to cut it out and inked it before mounting it on a fancy diecut in pink card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50"white card with a first mount out of pink card and the backing paper is also from the design set of the image and you will find it here. On top of this I have placed a doily and I then wrapped three piece of ribbon around the card and stuck it to the back of the first mount.
I placed my mounted image in the center and diecut the Sentiment at the top and placed it along the ribbon at the top of my card.
To finish of I have diecut some cakes and topped them with frills and placed them around the image.
