A is for Animal

This year I have decided to play along with some of the Christmas challenges. Hopefully that way I won't have to end up making lots of cards as quickly as I can! So for my first one I have made this card for the challenge at ABC Christmas challenge.

 

 The first challenge is A is for Animal so I have chosen to use the polar bear from SU's Polar Party set. The wreath is one that was sitting on my desk left over from Christmas and the paper is from my stash. I think it was a freebie with a magazine some time ago. The background is actually a blue colour but it looks a bit grey in the photo. 

I found this image in my "misc" box. I had stamped and coloured it last year, then never used it! Time for it to make an appearance and be used. I mounted it onto Real Red cardstock then onto a small square card. The stamp set is Polar Party, coloured with Stampi'Write markers in Old Olive and Real Red and some glitter added.

Another Version

Here is another version of the card in the previous post. Again I used Polar Party stamp set and the DSP is Pool Party. Colured in with markers and some glitter added. I had to hold off posting this one but hopefully Monica will have got hers by now if Mr Postman has been kind!

Gosh I don't know where the time has gone as it is over a month since I blogged. All I can say is I've been busy!! This is a card I made from one of the Countdown to Christmas projects from Lee Conrey. I used Old Olive DSP, Whisper White cardstock, Polar Party and Perfect Punches stamp sets and old olive and real red markers. The circle was cut with a nestie and the embossing folder was my own as SU don't do a snowflake one over here.

Last Minute Challenge Card

I have been planning to do the challenge at Simply Stampin all week. Just don't know where the week has gone as now it's Friday and I'm rushing to post this before I have to go out!   The challenge this week is a sketch . I have used the new Polar party stamp set mounted on some scraps of real red card . The DSP is a retired one from last year and the base card is garden green. Sorry this is so rushed. Will edit any typos later!!
