We are a month closer to Christmas since the last Challenge began so it's quite fitting that the theme for November at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge is Christmas....any which way you'd like to portray it. The lovely prize this month is a pair of un-mounted stamps kindly donated by Lili Of The Valley called 'Sprinkled with Sugar' and 'Recipe Sentiments'.....aren't they just cute :)
For my card I wanted to use my new stamps from Waltzing Mouse called Nordic Winter, I just love these knitted patterns, they remind me of a poncho my Mum made for me when I was much younger and I see the patterns are popular again on the high street!
The sentiment is from 'Say it Loud- Winter Holiday' also a Waltzing Mouse Stamp Set, stamped and raised on an identical panel and a row of smoke coloured gems added to finish off :)
So please come and join us this month at St Luke's and make a Christmas card for our challenge then if your able, we'd love you to send it along with any others you would like to donate so they can be sold in aid of the hospice, please don't feel you have to donate to join in but please spread the word :)
See the blog for details of the challenge, about the hospice's work and how to send your cards in.
I so enjoyed inking these stamps up that I made a card for One layer Weds so I'll be back later today to share it with you....said it was going to be busy this week!!
Thanks for looking X
