  Morning Crafters, This week the design team were tasked to create a Christmas project but keeping to red and green as our colour palette. For my project I created a Christmas card.    I used the Rudolph Reindeer Wreath digital image - I coloured the image in using my spectrum noir alcohol markers using traditional Red and Green colours but overlaid the red with an embossing pen so that I could add some red glitter embossing powder which created some sparkle and texture. For my sentiment “ Believe” I used the Winnie White Christmas sentiment bundle - which I printed using my laser printer so that I could cover with green deco foil and ran through my laminator to give a foiled effect. To complete the card, I cut out elements of a poinsettia flower using my scan and cut machine and adhered this to the right side of the card. I really wish you could see this card in real life – It’s just full of texture and sparkle! Happy Crafting! Mel x Challenges entered  Little Patch of Cr

For my chosen papers, I used  Elvis Wesley Moose themed digital papers  which I die cut out using a basic rectangle stitched die and then cut in half. I then used one of each half to create my background and added a thin red cardstock strip to bring both papers together. To co
