The Greetery Christmas Pudding, MFT Santa's Elves and Spellbinders Merry Christmas cards

Hello crafty friends,

Well, March has come and I'm looking forward to spring even though we are having a very cold snap hereabouts. Welcome to the March 2023 ABC Christmas Challenge.

The challenge begins today and continues until the 8th April so you have lots of time to create and enter your projects into the gallery.

Our themes this time are

E for Elves

F for Food

and/or

G for Gold,

and I have a little prize for the randomly chosen winner

I managed to make a card for each of the themes this time

E for Elves

I used the MFT Santa's Elves set for this, coloured with Copics and layered it onto the Altenew Diamond Frame die cut. The sentiment strip is from Simon Says Stamp.

F for Food

I used the Greetery Christmas Pudding dies for this one and shaded the pudding base with distress oxide ink and added currants with a brown Copic. The circle frame was cut with a die from Studio Katya and after I put it all together, I felt it lacked something. As I was clearing up, I found all the little red dots that had fallen from the frame die and spent a happy few minutes gluing each one around the frame. It doesn't take much lol....

G is for Gold

I used a green satin finish card for this one and foiled the Spellbinders Merry Christmas foil plate with gold foil. I added some flowers and holly, foiled with the same set, to add a pop of colour and finished off with the Christmas sentiment.
