MMSC#42

I've had a busy week with little chance to craft. This afternoon I made a quick Christmas card using the sketch from the Midnight Madness Challenge Blog. Raise the Bar also challenges us to use things in threes - the 3 pieces of card candy and 3 DPs set at an angle fit this one I think. I've used a Whiff of Joy stamp and My Minds Eye DPs. The card candy, sentiment and the middle DP are all from Craftwork Cards. Having watched Tim Holtz on craft tv earlier this week I tried using Distress Stickles on my reindeer and heating them. It looks better in real life than in my photo, but still not anything like when TH did the demo :).

Edited to add: I also made this for E is for Elf at the ABC Christmas challnege but thought I couldn't enter it as I forgot the red and green part of the challenge. Samantha from their DT pointed out this is optional so I'm entering this card too, which is almost, sort of red and green :). Thanks for the heads-up Samantha and it has a good side, I now have 2 more cards ready for Christmas, not one:)

    Great card- that looks like a challenging layout, but it looks fabulous! Love the reindeer with the Stickles that you heated.
