Christmas time at Craft challenge blog

Good morning well it is that time of the month again when Craft challenge try's to get us ready for the man in the Red Suit. Yes we are talking Christmas.

So anything Christmas we would love you to share with us.

Our sponsor for this challenge are

Bugaboo Stamps and  Doctor Digi House of Stamps

the team have been allowed to play with some images from our sponsors and I got to play with this fab image called Christmas Bear Side Orniment available from the shop HERE

Having played with CAS last week i thought I would go along those lines using just white card and some silver Mirri. I coloured my image with my promarkers.
Used a freebie embossing folder from a mag and a cuttle bug dots folder in reverse.
Die used for the frame is a spellbinders labels and stamp is a Inkadinkadood
Well now it is your turn come share some Christmas Cheer with us and get a little ready for the big day.

Gliding wax on the frame and bag edges. 

I have also added some surkura gel pens to the design on the bag to give it some sparkle.

Both bags are made with K & Co card.
