Happy Christmas To You

Time for the second to last challenge for 2025 at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.  Hard to believe the year is almost at an end.  As per usual, the challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge.  The sponsor for this challenge is All Dressed Up

 I have used an image from All Dressed Up called Christmas Stockings

I also used some washi tape in the background.  Colouring is with copic markers.  The sentiment is from All Dressed Up as well.

Sleigh It Like You Mean It

 The November Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas is Sleigh It Like You Mean It.  The challenge is Any Christmas Card Goes but has an optional theme of sleighs (must still be Christmas Cards though).  This is my card for the midway inspiration:

I used two digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The single sleigh pieces have been cut from the plain layer (has a sleigh in the corner).  

I have followed a tutorial by Iced Images for a Double Winged Gatefold Card.  I followed the measurements but changed the ovals to rectangles and squares.

October Inspiration for 12 Months of Christmas

 

 

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles and images that came with a magazine. 

I followed a tutorial for a Double Panel Card by Iced Images. 

Watercolour Pumpkin

 I actually managed to find some time to upload this card before the last minute.  Go Me.

 

I have used watercolour paints along with coloured pencils for the colouring.  I kept it simple by layering the image on to some coloured cardstock and then onto the cardbase (using foam tape).  The image is by Nan Murphy.
