For Sparkles Christmas Challenge "Christmas Flowers or Foliage" and for My Time to Craft Christmas "Pine Cones":
The image is coloured with coloured pencils, it's trimmed with quite a bit of white border around it, then thinly matted with green, and added to a red card base. I put the sentiment strip on a diagonal so that it stayed within the green mat.
My second card is for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Christmas Cup" and Sweet Stampin' "Tartan or Plaid".
When I was tidying my craft room recently, I came across some stamped, heat embossed, and die cut Christmas cups from an old SU set. So when I saw the 52CCT challenge, I had the perfect opportunity to use them. To fulfill the tartan or plaid challenge for Sweet Stampin', I pulled out some tartan ribbon and ran it across my focal panel to represent a Christmas table cloth for my cups to sit on.
