Today is the big day over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'! It's our first challenge of 2013 and the "official" launch of our new challenge blog, although we did have an Anything Goes challenge last month to help spread the word. We were blown away by the number of entries we received - over 400 at the last count!
Our theme this month is Cold and Frosty - perfectly timed for the cold snap the Met Office have predicted for the UK!
I decided to make an 8"x8" card for a change and used a combination of papers from October Afternoon, Basic Grey and Prima. I inked the edges of my DP with Walnut Stain and topped them with aqua ribbon and a bow. The image is one of Mo Manning's amazing digis, coloured with Copics. I added lots of Glamour Dust for some frosty sparkle. The embellie in the bottom right corner has been in my stash for so long that I've forgotten the make, but I think it might be Fancy Pants.
Do come over to Christmas at Sweet Stampin' and take a look at the inspiration projects some of the Christmas Sweeties have made. As we are a monthly challenge the remaining Sweeties will be posting their designs on 23rd January. We have some great sponsors on board, too. This month our prize is a £10 voucher from My Mums Craft Shop. I wouldn't mind that myself!
Have a great day!
Hugs
