Well I have to say that things have been getting away from me the last couple of weeks!
After mum being in hospital, I'm still struggling with my back (I have been referred back to the hospital next week) and we have had some personal family stuff going on, as well as manic times as the school term hurtles towards Christmas (Christmas market, nativity production, pantomime, cards, calendars, parties, coffee morning - you know how it goes!) And then there is all the Christmas shopping to come! I say every year that I will start sooner, but alas I am once again struggling to keep up.
My crafting has also taken a back seat, but I am back today with news of our last challenge for 2015 over at Fantasy Stampers - we will be back in the New Year to celebrate our 2nd birthday!
Here's what I made for our new challenge - 'Clean and Simple Christmas' ...
This one uses five stamps from a freebie set called 'Winter Wonderland' which came with a recent craft magazine. I used black archival ink to stamp out the little scene, then I used the snow stamp with Perfect Medium ink and dusted with Cosmic Shimmer 'Enchanted Gold' mica powder (I think you can just see it in my photo) to create a snowy sky.
The scene was mounted on a scrap of black card before I added it to the card base. I stamped the sentiment in black archival ink to finish off. Definitely a simple one!
I hope you can come and join us for our last challenge of the year.
Hugz, Jan xx
Beautiful CAS card Jan. I am glad to hear that your mum is on the mend. Life is always so busy at this time of the year sometimes I wish I could just press pause for a few seconds whilst I catch my breathe before ploughing on with all the preparations.
ReplyDeleteI hope you manage to get everything done in time for the big day.
Take care
