Pollycraft Challenge #103 - *//HO HO HO\\* Christmas in July

Posted by at Labels: , , , , , ,
Hey Pollycraft Fans.. we have a double whammy for ya today!! ;)

It's Monday - so that can only mean one thing.. a new challenge..

PLUS we have some Christmas digi previews for you. Can I get a *YIPPEEE*

The challenge theme this week is courtesy of the lovely Joey.. We want to see those

CHRISTMAS CARDS

Christmas in July seems to be all over blog land right now so.. there is no shortage of inspiration out there. Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see the inspiration from the awesome bunch of ladies on the DT. 

The lucky winner will receive a £10 voucher to spend in Crafty Emma's Store. She has brand new packs of MME and Basic Grey patterned paper and all sorts of other goodies. Makes me drool just thinking about it!!

For my card I have used the brand new Chesters Letter, his letter appears blank on the digi so you have room for your own sentiment - genius or what?! I stamped a cute sentiment from a Paper Makeup stamp set in Real Red SU! ink.


I have used some scrummy papers from Echo Park - Everybody Loves Christmas collection. I have so many Christmas papers I gotta use up, so I wasn't shy with this card. I love the none traditional colours in this collection so I teamed the papers up with some blue card from Papercuts and distressed and doodles the edges.

I added a die cut flourish from the same blue cardstock, along with a die cut vellum doily, some gorgeous WOC flowers, prima bling and some liquid pearls.


I have coloured Chester with the usual ProMarkers - and now I'm looking at the picture I remembered I was meant to add stickles to the pom pom on his hat and the fluff around the top of his boots - bummer.

Now is he not the sweetest. Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog and then head over to the other ladies blogs to see the other images from this new release. All the price details will be on the blog.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:
× Class Act Insider - Christmas
× Fun with Shapes - Christmas in July
× Jelly Park Friends - #1 Christmas in July
× Guylou's Inimitability Digistamps - It's a Recipe
× Polka Doodles - Christmas in July
