CCC: Anything goes - first challenge of the month.

Good morning all! I hope you are all okay! We are good. It was a busy day yesterday. Penny had a birthday party and a sleepover and Lucy came to the gym and swimming with me then had a friend over for a sleepover. It should be a bit quieter today. I hope!!!!

Its our very first Christmas card Club this week and the theme this time is anything goes. Woohoo. I got to play with my new holiday sparkle pens that I got in the crafters companion sale. Here's what I did.


I stamped two images - first this one from stampendous and secondly one from kanban. Then I coloured them using the sparkle pens.


Here's a close up ....


I have a few of these mini pine cones left from my craft box december issue so expect to see a few of these on cards!


Its only two cards but not a bad start to my stash for christmas 2017!

Hope you have a great day! Hugs

    Two wonderful cards, 'rachel. i love both images. i have the first one already but think i will add the second to my wish list I keep for DH as I can never remember when he asks "what would you like for..."
    Love the look you got from your new pens. I will have to google them and read the description as they sound fab.

    Sorry to be a day late in commenting, but at least I'm finally having a moment to visit. Wow! Love how you've used this fab Stampendous image with that gorgeous royal blue in the sky. This stamp lends itself to so many looks, and I must say, I think I like this card best of any I've seen using the image. Of course I love the trees & deer too. Both images are so nice with the mat & embellies you've used on these cards. TFS & Happy New Year.

    I always love that wintry little cottage when I see it, and this great card is no exception. It's just been snowing here, but showing no signs of settling, sadly. I'd have liked some snow instead of wet concrete underfoot for a change...
