Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Christmas Carol

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we want you to think Christmas Carols, after all it's not too long to go now and I think it's ok to start getting a little excited.
For my card I have used a stamp from Artprints by Hero Arts which I have had for years, I have stamped and embossed in glittery gold powder and matted it onto gold card, the swirly embossed background was done with a mask through the Cuttlebug. A plain and simple card but it works for me. Hope you can come and join us as we are offering a voucher from joanna Sheen again this week.

CD Sunday - On Safari

It's time for another challenge over on CD Sunday and this week the theme is On Safari, I was going to use one of the big cat images on the JNM collections from Joanna Sheen but then I remembered that I had this image on one of the Cupcake cd's, this one is Walk on the Wildside.  I have used JNM for the backing paper which I'm not sure if you can see properly but has zebra's all over. I have used some of my precious tapestry card which I have punched with a deep punch from Martha Stewart.

I am quite pleased with the look of this card as I think it could quite easily be used for male or female birthdays, the sentiment is from a set by Lili of the Valley stamped in black and clear embossed.
