2 Christmas cards, 4 challenges


As I didn't make a Christmas card last week I decided to make 2 last night. The first one is for the challenge of candy and pink at ABC Christmas. Baubles are for Bah Humbug and non traditional Christmas is at Susie and Vikki's Christmas Club. The digi image is from Pollycraft, papers are DCWV rose tinted Christmas.



The second card was made using some cute little toppers from Lili of the Valley for the blog hop challenge at Winter Wonderland. The challenge is candy cane red and white. I used the striped paper to represent candy canes. A couple of snowflakes and gems and I am pleased with the result even though there is no stamped image for a change.

Fabulous cards with so rich colours.
I do like your Polycraft image, he is so cute and wonderfully coloured in. The four baubles in the corners are fabby as is your diecut oval.

I'm totally in love with your second card, the images are fabulous. I especially like the Christmas tree.
Good luck in the blog hop.
