Anything Goes @ Inkspirational

Christmas time and all the busy things you have to do have just caught me by surprise.

 

Our new fortnightly challenge at Inkspirational is an Anything Goes challenge so we would love you to join us.

 

My Mum has all my Christmas cards so I need a few more so I have made another Christmas card for the challenge this week.

 

I have used the Festive Flurry stamps with the co-ordinating Framelits Die and the layout of the card was inspired by the current sketch at Clean and Simple.

 

Here is my card:

CCC Anything Goes

We have a great two week Anything Goes challenge at Crafty Creations as well as a prize blog hop which is on some of the Design Team blogs.

 

The CAS layout of my card was inspired by the current MUSE challenge which is quite CAS on the front but loved the flowers too.

 

Plus I need a card for my Mum for her birthday on Thursday and she loves soft feminine colours and the sentiment was perfect.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

All Stampin’ Up products and I have used the Secret Garden Stamp set with the co-ordinating dies. The flicks of colour have been created using one the stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

 

Some DSP from the Etcetera series and a scallop edge punch with just a touch of bling.
