Gill's Card Making Challenge

purplecow197 · Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:38 am Post subject: Gill's Card Making Challenge

This year I have decided to make my Christmas as simple and unstressful as I can. I usually leave making my chrissy cards way too late, and stress about making them. So this year I have decided to make quick, simple cards, and what better day to make a start on them than WCMD.

My challenge for you is to make a simple Christmas Card!

The criteria is:-

1. A single layer card

2. A stamped image in one colour....no colouring in!

3. One type of embellishment

Your card can be any size or shape....but must fit the above criteria.

You can see my card in the gallery http://www.scrap-pile.com.au/gallery/displayimage.php?album=521&pos=0
