Reminder for HLS Challenges

Hi everyone. Back today with a quick reminder for you that there is still time to join in this month's Christmas Challenge and Sketch Challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

First up is the Sketch -

For my card this time, I went with a big flower instead of a tree.

This stamp comes from SU! Flower Fair. I stamped the image four times and then fussy cut each layer. Popped up with foam tape gave it great dimension.

Next is the Christmas Challenge. You need to follow the word that is provided and your project must be related to Christmas.

Here is my card -

I went with a shaker card and concentrated on having a cardinal sitting among the birch trees.

I've used 'snow' in the shaker which is a bit hard to see so here is the card laying flat.

and the inside of my card is below

Whenever I make these it is a real PAIN when all your sequins and goodies get stuck to the inside sides of the shaker part of the card. I can't remember who (sorry!) but I was told that baby powder would stop that from happening. I actually swiped my embossing buddy over the inside of the shaker element once assembled and now not one piece of the snow has stuck! Awesome!

And now the CAS Challenge

I used Acrylic block stamping for my background. 

Pop on over to the challenge blog now because there are heaps of reminders for you about all our monthly challenges.

Thanks so much for looking xx
