One card eight challenges .... is this a record??

I sat down last night to make a card based around a li'l monthly challenge that I participate in with a group of (mostly non-blogging) crafty friends: this month it was my turn to set the challenge, so I sent each person a little kit containing the following items and rules:

Contents:

Two 15cm square pieces of double sided BasicGrey "FiggyPudding" paper
One 10 * 15cm piece of white pearlised card
One snowflake brad>
Approx 0.5 m of blue ribbon edged with silver
One small white paper flower

Rules:
Use at least something of each of the above items
Three of the four paper patterns must be visible
Use at least one Penny Black stamp or stickeroo.

Unfortunately the naughty postman lost one of my packages, and after I rushed out a replacement Irealised I'd only got a teeny bit of one of the papers left LOL, so I looked around for a sketch to help me out!! And in the spirit of Christmas I decided to see how many challenges I could fulfil - my previous highest was 6, but I think I have managed 8 this time .. pretty spooky cos the photo is number 888 on my digital camera. So here we go ....

1. The card is for my "bits & pieces" challenge, as above. I used all the elements in the package, and both my main image and sentiment are PB. I coloured the main image with watercolour pencils and red H2O, and glittered the "fluffy bits" of the hat with pee wee glitter.

2. PTW is Dawny's Sketch #4 - fab sketch, and the curved bottom edge made me think of snowdrifts so i ripped and glittered the bottom edge accordingly.

3. BasicGrey Challenge #14 is Oh So Charming - I felt that the gorgeous snowflake charm nicely filled the gap beneath the ribbon in accordance with the sketch layout. My papers are of course BG "Figgy Pudding".
4. Talking of snowflakes ....Everybody-Art Challenge #17 is snowflakes ... so I used a double whammy with the charm and the brad.

5. This week's Secret Crafter Challenge #10 is embossing - the photo doesn't show it very well, but the sentiment is embossed wtih detail silver powder.

6. ArtyGirlz Challenge 64 is my favourite medium. Well that's a hard one for me as I love watercolour pencils, H2O's and glitter ... so I used all three!!

7. Cute Card Thursday #39 is hearts ... not so difficult to incorporate on a Christmas card as it's a lovey dovey image, so I have got a heart in the sentiment and another heart crystal gem decorating the the flower.

8.Last but by no means least ... this week's ABC Challenge is U for Underneath. OK, so this is a bit of a stretch, but in order to hit the magic number 8 I would say that my snowflake charm is hanging underneath the ribbon & the paper is underneath the image ... need I go on LOL??

Hope you like it :-)
