I’m so happy that Helen has taken up Rudolph’s reins, so that we can continue to be inspired to make our Christmas cards throughout the year.
The new site Rudolph Days Challenge is HERE
Maureen did a fabulous job of running this challenge for so long, for which we are all so grateful.
So here’s my card
This was meant to be a relatively quick and simple make 🙄
The technique challenge from 52 Christmas card Throwdown, which gave me this idea was….
I still had the Uniko stencil out, which I thought would give the effect without too much masking.
I’m trying to use up neglected stash and had some card blanks with a slight texture.🙄🙄
This did not help with the stamping, but I persevered, getting numerous stamp sets out to fit my sections.
I still had to mask off bits, and wipe ink off the stencil after stamping,
to prevent it transferring.🙄🙄🙄🙄
My final challenge was getting a decent photo in this dim and dismal light! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
This was my first photo attempt, before trying numerous positions and lights.
Do visit these challenges for lots of inspiration and without the eye rolls 😂
The holly and ivy Christmas challenge #156 anything goes
Addicted to stamps and more #462 Christmas
Roll on spring!
Have a good week

We had a nice quiet Christmas, hope you had a good one?
My sisters plans were a bit scuppered!
One bro in law fell and dislocated his shoulder…….
it was touch and go whether they could go to the hotel they’d booked,
but happily they did, and are still having a nice time.
The other bro in law had pneumonia……Hospital is not what they’d planned on Christmas Day,
but again happily he was home that night, and is recovering well.
I thought I’d share my last Christmas cards pics for this year…..
I got a pack of this paper, and had fun fussy cutting and creating various designs…

I was asked to make a card for a friend, something I rarely agree to,
as I can’t take the pressure 🥵,
but on this occasion I agreed….
I hope you have a good weekend wherever you are
