Desperate for Christmas mojo, I checked out my favourite Christmas Challenges and then set about creating a card which would fulfill as many Challenge Criteria as possible!
The first challenge I wanted to comply with was the August Colour Challenge at 52Christmas Card Throwdown - Pink, Purple and Gold! Mmmm heavenly combination no??
I'm in the middle of overhauling my craft supplies and I found a small embossed square card which was part of a set I bought ages ago! The front and back were both embossed with gold so I cut it in half to make two panels and added Picked Raspberry and Dusty Concord distress inks to my craft mat, spritzed and dragged the card panels through. I used the first panel on this card - watch this space for the second panel!
I knew I wanted to use this Skandi Pferdchen die I bought from Charlie und Paulchen earlier this year, which also gave me the opportunity to enter NBUS Challenge #41
Christmas Kickstart Challenge #65 is Never in a Nativity! I'm pretty sure there weren't any horses in the nativity - especially Scandinavian ones!
The Holly and the Ivy Challenge #121 is Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge prompt this week is "Christmas" so I'll be entering there as well!
I'd also like to enter Crafty Animals Challenge #64 which is Anything Goes as long as it includes and Animal!
And the current challenge at As You Like it - Favourite Domestic Animal! The horse is such a majestic creature don't you think?
I'm thrilled you stopped by and hope you enjoyed your visit. If you leave a comment, I’ll know you were here and how to find you and perhaps we can get better acquainted!
This horse looks very regal in gold. Thanks for joining AYLI challenge. Elaine
