CHNC challenge 36: no sentiment

Where has the week gone to? Those who regularly visit my blog may have noticed that I haven't made anything at all this week. Before that I went a bit mad for a couple of weeks making loads of cards. Somehow this last week has gone by and I just haven't got round to crafting, partly because other things have been more important and partly because I haven't felt like it.

Anyway, it's time for another challenge on my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas challenge blog - and this time I'm being sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads - a randomly picked winner will be able to choose five digi images of their own - and there are so many gorgeous digis to choose from - just click on the link and see the gorgeous selection. What better time to join in my Christmas challenge?! Just head over here to enter.

For challenge 36 I'm asking you to make any Christmas card, but do not include a sentiment on the front of the card.

I've used Di's 'Merry mice' image - isn't it lovely?! Having chosen my papers - from My mind's eye Christmas glitter book - and made my card I realised that it could look as if I'm cheating because the words 'Merry Christmas' are visible at the top of the card, but it's part of the background paper, so I'm allowing it - lol! If you want to do something similar that's fine by me, but please don't actually add a specific sentiment/greeting to your card.

For my card I used the sketch given for Christmas challenges with sketches 8 - to see the sketch and join in please click on the link.

I coloured the image with copics, cut out with a nestie and added three brads that have been in my Christmas box for about three years (I think they are DCWV, but not sure). You can't really see it here, but I've applied glossy accents to the lanterns.
