As we start our new year of Christmas card making, I'm delighted to be Jo's Elf for the January Christmas Kickstart Challenge - The Midas Touch!! You may remember the story of King Midas who turned things to gold with a touch? Well, we're doing it to our Christmas cards this month - just be sure to include something golden on your entry. Here's my take:
Supplies: Paper - Park Lane gold A2 card;
various BoBunny holiday 6x6 patterned papers
Dies - Penny Black Birds On A Wreath;
A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set
Other - Copic Markers; Joy die cut from bits box (retired Sizzix)
If you read my earlier post, you'd know that dear Ellie (Elliebelle's Corner) sent me a couple of the wreath die cuts she used on the gorgeous card she sent me in December. I colored a wreath while watching some holiday movies and used gold for the bells. Had thought about using it on a birthday card for a friend's Christmas Eve birthday. Then I remembered I need my elf card for Kickstart so I made it a Christmas card instead. Thanks again for the die cuts, Ellie - you really saved me in the busy holiday season!
That's it, friends! I hope to see your golden cards in the Kickstart gallery this month!!
Thanks for stopping and happy crafting!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on being guest Elf this month. Now I understand that comment you made a while back. You are so good at regularly entering Christmas Kickstarter. I don't know how you do it. it is always lovely when you get to use something that a fellow crafter has sent and on a DT card makes it even more special. Love those little birds too xx
