It's time for another Platypus Creek Challenge, themed "Christmas with Buttons and a Bow"! This time, I've used PCD Holly Leaves to accentuate a main image on my card and replaced the berries with some lovely buttons I recently picked up at my local craft store. The holographic DP is also a new impulse buy, I was standing in line for the cash register at a department store when I noticed these beauties glistening on a shelf nearby. There a tons of sheets with different colours and patterns, so expect them to feature in more of my Christmas Cards designs! The only drawback is that the paper is so thin, it's difficult to cut straight with my cutting tool. What do you think?
Materials:
* PCD Holly Leaves
* Snowman & sentiment stamp from unknown set, stamped with black ink and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink
* DPs from stash
* Marianne Letters & More Background stamp
* Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas Vintage button set, stitched with metallic thread from a local craft store (Pipoos)
* Create & Craft ribbon
Challenges:
* Charisma Cards (Keep It Cool)
* 4 Crafty Chicks (Winter Wonderland)
* Crimbo Crackers (Snowmen)
* Crafty Pad (It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas)
* Creatalicious Challenges (Winter)
* Crafty Catz (Sparkle)
* Joanna Sheen (Cold & Frosty)
* Sweet Stampin' (Snow People)
* Let's Craft & Create (Christmas)
* Hooked on Craft (Christmas no Red/Green)

ReplyDeleteHi Ciska, your card is just lovely!! Great snowman and your backing paper is fabulous!! I tend to cut thin paper with a metal rule and a sharp craft knife - it tears in my paper trimmer.
