Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box card Christmas pop up, Mama Elephant Bear Hugs Christmas card and Papertrey Ink Background Basic Evergreens Christmas card





Hello everyone and welcome to August at ABC Christmas Challenges.



Well you outdid yourselves last month and we had 243 amazing entries, so thank you for playing along and giving us so much inspiration.

This time our themes are 

P for Pine Tree
Q for Quiet
and
 R for Robin


and we have a great prize for the winner




I went to town on this challenge and made a card for each letter - yep - 3 cards made this time!!! 'Nuf said.

First up is P for Pine tree


For this simple card, I just inked up a sky with oxide inks and added some splats of water to create snow. I added some white glitter card at the bottom to create the sparkly snow line and covered the horizon line with Papertrey Ink Background Basics: Evergreens in dark green card and white card. 
 

A few little star gems and a sentiment finished it off.

Next up is Q for Quiet, and I created a quiet snowy hillside scene.


The cute bears are from Mama Elephant Bear Hugs and the Santa is from Inkylicious. I inked the edge of a white card mat with distress ink to give some contrast and finished off with a sentiment from Papertrey Ink.



And finally, I went to town a little on my R for Robin card


I used the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box card die but cut it so it was taller. The robins are from Clearly Besotted's Red Robin and the other bits are from a mix of MFT, PTI, Paper Smooches and Clearly Besotted sets.


 I have to say I had great fun making this one and I had so many bits left over that I can make a few more of this design.

We have some fabulous inspiration over on the ABC Challenge Blog and you have until 31st August if you decide to join us.

I'd like to play along at






Thanks for stopping by and stay safe.

Hugs

We're over halfway there - it's a perfect time to make cards for all three letters! :D And what a great trio of cards you've made. I really like the way you layered the evergreen die! (I have this die too - I'll have to remember this!) Your second card is a peaceful, quiet scene indeed. And then there's your third card! Wow! I love this robin explosion!

Wow, three cards-how wonderful Carol! They are all so beautiful too! I do love the tree card, so serene and peaceful looking. I love seeing the snow sparkling when it is a full moon out. Your quiet card is so sweet and I can definitely "feel" the quiet as Santa is making his way around the world! Those bears are so cute too! Then there is your robin box card, oh my goodness, it is filled with such awesomeness! So sweet and so cute and I can imagine the fun you had putting this one together! Well done! Hugs, Brenda
