Crafts Galore Encore December 2015

It's been ages since I've blogged. I hope you are all keeping well. I can't believe it's the first of December already!! Being away from home completely changed my routine and my regular life had to be put on hold. I've been back home for a few days now and I'm frantically trying to catch up with Christmas cards and present shopping. Who needs sleep anyway?

 It's time for a new challenge on the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. Thank you to everyone who joined in last month's challenge. The winners are on the challenge blog 'winner's page'. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. A full list of rules are on the challenge blog.
Our theme this month is everyone's favourite
"Anything Goes"
Our fabulous sponsor for this month is Beccy's Place.

Some of the team were allowed to choose an image from Beccy's shop and I was one of the lucky ones. This is the card I made.

I scruffed the edges of a piece of plain card and coloured it with blue Pan Pastels before matting it onto an 8"x 8"  card blank. The sky paper is from the Wellington at Christmas range by Docrafts and the snowflake paper is by LOTV from the Frosty Christmas paper pad.

I couldn't resist this super sweet image - pun intended. It's called Gingerbread House and I coloured it with Copics before cutting it out and adding glitter to the snow. It's mounted on the card with foam pads.

The little gingerbread man is a Docrafts stamp. He was also coloured with my Copics. The trees were created with Sue Wilson's Winter Tree Festive Collection dies. The fences are a Marianne die to which I added some white acrylic paint.
I finished the card with some gems.
Now please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the fabulous cards from my wonderfully talented team mates. We look forward to seeing your projects this December.
I wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmastime.
