I have to confess that I did find time to make a card for last week's LIM challenge for a one layer card but the result was so bad I couldn't enter it and it ended up in the bin! I don't know why I find it so hard to do a single layer card, but I have to accept that I do. I was thrilled that Mandie and Chrissie chose to showcase my card for the sketch challenge and I will display their badge with pride, once I can work out how to do it, that is!!!! I am still technically challenged.
The LIM challenge this week is to use tearing on a card and I decided to make another Christmas card to lessen the load as Christmas draws closer
This was a very simple card. I just die cut a PTI tree out of 4 shades of green card and then tore them to bits and reassembled them. Some little red pearls for ornaments and a couple of sentiments finished it off. I did put the tree on foam pads to give a little dimension and matted a thin red layer of card to help it stand out from the cream base but I hope it still counts as CAS?
If you get chance, do go and look at the entries on this challenge - there are some very talented people out there!
Thanks for looking.
