This week at
I've got the hosting duties and the challenge is "No Snow Christmas!" which just means that we would like to see a December holiday card.....but with no snow! I'm betting Girlfriends Brenda and Chrissy are liking this challenge seeing as their Decembers are snow-free. (:
This is what I did.....
I went a little grungy for this make, and definitely went overboard with the splatter. And, of course most of the splatter ended up on the part of the card where the least amount of splatter should be. I also realized I made a mistake....I'm not gonna say what it is coz if you don't see it I don't want to point it out. It's an easy fix though, but not worth it for me to go through the whole photographing/editing process again. 😜 Digi is from Stamplorations.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

Love your grungy Christmas card,great colouring and distressing-The only thing I could see have you coloured the bottom left leaf red instead of green and if so not a big problem and would I have noticed if you hadn't said anything?

Love the texture on your card, Jan. I have a love/hate relationship with splatter. But yours looks great to me. And, nope, can't spot that mistake :-) xx

Jan, I love this card! You really nailed it with the splatter and vellum. I love how warm and rustic it is. And I wanted to take your challenge and see if I could find the mistake. I agree with crafty-stamper that the only thing I could see is that maybe a leaf that is red should be green, but if you hadn't said anything I would have never noticed. Great job! Thanks for joining us over at Christmas BINGO Challenges!
ReplyDeleteAdorable no snow christmas card, Jan. I like the shabby look with the torn edges and darker colors.

Ohhhhh! Stunning card! The poinsettia colours against the earth tones are so striking!
ReplyDeleteLove this Janice and itʻs perfect just as it is. Iʻm with Kate, I love the poinsettia on the browns background. Wonderful! If I had it together, I probably would have pulled out one of my surfing Santaʻs for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage look of this card, Jan! Looks perfect to me!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great vintage card - and not too many splatters - is that actually a thing....? Thank you for joining us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge xx Lynda/Loopyloo DT
