Crafty Calendar Challenge - November

Hello

Today we launch a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge, I do hope you'll be able to join us.  Our theme for this month is Wrap Up Warm with the option to include Twine, Fibres or String.  We are sponsored by Cedar Chest Designs and we were given some lovely images to create with. Cedar Chest Designs will give the winner of this challenge $10 to spend in store.  This is a new store with lovely digital images and papers and cutting files,  I chose this great image called Georgia and the Snowman.  Here is my card:


8 x 8 fancy edged card blank from CupcakeCrafting.

Image printed onto Joanna Sheen's Elegance Satin Paper and coloured with Spectrum Noirs.

Snowflake backing paper printed from Swalk Winter Cheer cd-rom from Crafter's Companion.

The mitten backing paper which was perfect for the challenge (and decided my colours for me!) came free in a magazine.

I used Core'dinations card for all my matting.

Martha Stewart's Snowflakes punch around the page set was used to create the mat the image is sat on, together with the central strip to which I added some twine.  A stocking charm was added as I felt this again tied in with the theme so well.

The corner die was cut using a Marianne die.

The sentiment mat is a Nellie Snellen die, the sentiment is LOTV stamped in silver metallic ink and the three snowflakes are the 'waste' from the punched borders.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - Punch It Out
