Allsorts Challenge #650

Good morning everyone,

It's Saturday so it's time for another weekly Allsorts Challenge. This week Wendy has chosen the theme and it is

Christmas

So it's your perfect opportunity to catch up with those Chrimbo makes if you haven't already!

We have 2 lovely prizes on offer this week:

Fistly, we have this bundle of Christmas ribbons and embellishments

... and secondly

Ruth Hamilton Design

is offering 3 images of the winner's choice.

Ruth has some new images due to go on her website soon, and some of my fellow teamies have used these designs to give you a sneak peek … you can see them on the main challenge blog.

Here's my card for this week.

This is another LotV James the Bear stamp I’ve had from about 3 or 4 years ago and am sure I never inked before. I coloured him with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, including creating a wash around the image where I then lifted the colour by dabbing with rubbing alcohol and a cotton bud. I also broke out a couple of snowflake dies and punches I haven't used for a while - I do really love this gorgeous Memory Box border. I also decided to add a bit of sparkle both with gems and some holographic glitter on James's darling Santa hat.

Stamps : LotV “James Snowman”; sentiment - Penny Black “Joy, Hope” (3898F);

Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;

Papers: LotV “Frosty Snowflakes”;

Tools: Memory Box die “Frostyville Border”; snowflake die (unknown); Martha Stewart snowflake punch.
