Day 20 - "R"

Day 20 - "R"

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer x2! I think that just about covers me for the "R" prompt this year. Although they don't look very sparkly, I actually filled in the noses of both reindeer with red Kindy Glitz, which also gave them some dimension. The backgrounds of both cards were created with strips of paper offcuts layered together and trimmed to size... a great way to use up some of those scraps!

YOUR TURN: Create a card using the letter "R" as your prompt.

Day 1 - "A"

One of my favourite techniques is to take an image and add some doodling to make it suitable for a completely different occasion. I mostly do it for Christmas since there are so many simple items you can add, such as hats, lights or, in this case, baubles, which I added to the antlers of my animal image.

YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project using the letter "A" as your prompt.

Day 21 - "R"

This sentiment always reminds me of one of my friends who has a wicked sense of humour and loves to share a good joke. She always brings laughter to the party with her bawdy stories and hilarious observations. I highly recommend having at least one friend just like her!

Day 25 - "V"

It wasn't until after I added the sparkly red nose that I realised my Vixen character was looking rather Rudolphesque. I was tempted for a whole two minutes to change the design, but then I figured it's really all about the twinkle!

YOUR TURN: Create a card using the letter "V" as your prompt.

Day 19 - "Q"

When "Q" day rolls around in this challenge you can be sure I'll choose something quilted. Mostly because I love the look but also because I still haven't gotten around to learning how to quill!
