Vintage Christmas

Today I took myself off to my Mum's for a little while, I have a feeling she is starting to get in to the whole challenge thing too, which is great, however there is no way she will start a blog. So we decided that we would do this one together, in other words, we work together on the challenge cards and I then sit at the PC and blog to my hearts content.

So we have today worked on a Christmas card for a few challenges, we decided we would try something out of our comfort zone thanks to Charisma Cardz who have this week set Vintage as the theme for their challenge. But we did stick to something we know in using Promarkers, which is brilliant because I stumbled across Moving Along With The Times and their challenge this week is sponsored by Letraset with a theme of Anything Goes but you MUST use Promarkers.
Papertake Weekly Challenge have a wonderful sketch challenge this week. And finally last but not least Fussy and Fancy have a Winter Wonderland theme for this week, which could be holiday related or just reflect winter.

Now on to the card, as you know yesterday I was off craft shopping, which is how nearly all these papers came to be on the card. The plain cream, burgundy and blue are all from The Papermill at the Lowery Outlet Mall. The gold paper which Tilda is matted on to is from the good old trust stash from Kanban. Now the patterned paper, yes you guessed it, Papermania, though this time its from their Persimmon Collection again purchased from The Range.

The Merry Christmas rub on sentiment was also purchased from The Range in the Papermania Silent Night collection. We have finished the sentiment off with some brads from the stash we already had, so can't say where they are from.

Whilst I was busy matting and layering the papers Mum was busy colouring Tilda with Promarkers. The colours used maybe missing a colour of two as she didn't write them down, I'm sure she won't forget next time though!
Skin: Satin and Blush
Hair: Chestnut and Cinnamon
Dress: Burgundy, Midnight Blue and China Blue
Flowers: Olive Green, Sandstone and Primrose

Well I think that's enough waffling on now being as Mum has just been on the phone checking up on the blogging stage of our creation. So with Mum on board that's another set of fingers and toes that can be crossed in the hope that we might get lucky and win a challenge or maybe 2.

Happy Crafting :o)
