Penny Black Sleigh Ride Christmas card and Crafters Companion Penguin Christmas card




Hello everyone, and welcome to the ABC Christmas Challenges April challenge.


I am hosting this time and I have a little prize for the winner


 This challenge runs from 10th April to 4th May and we are covering two alphabet letters this time.


   The Christmas/December/Winter holidays themes this time round are:                                                    

'H is for Hats'

and

'I is for Inky'


These are my offerings:-


H for hats


For this card, I used the cute Crafter's Companion penguin die, and cut 2 of them, decorating their hats and scarfs in different colours. I stood them in little ice flows from the MFT Polar Pals stamp set and the lower sentiment came from the same set. The background was created by blending a couple of blue inks and adding some splatter.


and I for Inky


I blended several blue inks for this one and then used the Memory Box Pinpoint Burst Impression Plate to add texture. I sprayed the panel with Crafter's Companion Sparkle Spray and although it isn't showing up well in the photos, it looks pretty IRL. The added white splatter was made with watered-down Gouache paint.

The image was stamped with the Penny Black Sleigh Ride stamp set and coloured with Zig Clear Colour Pens. I fussy cut the image and added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to Rudolph's nose.


The Design Team has lots of inspiration over on the ABC blog, and I look forward to seeing your entries if you decide to join us this time.

I hope you are all safe and warm and that Storm Kathleen, which has been buffeting us here today as I write this, hasn't had a big impact on you.

Two real little cuties on the first Carol, but my fav has to be that super Santa image along with the sentiment.

Many thanks for your kind wishes, sadly cancelled last minute (again), first time January and it's a long wait to be re-scheduled.
