CTC #100 - Presents and Pinecones

Welcome to our 100th CTC Blog Hop!  Can you believe it? It has been such a fun way to explore the catalogue and I am ever grateful for Bronwyn setting this up.

This week we are taking inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones section of the Holiday Catalogue, I chose to take broad inspiration from the cute red card above. 

I changed the orientation of the card but am enjoying the challenge of having some off-centre elements on my cards which are usually just not my thing..  I used the Peace This Christmas stamp set which goes beautifully with the This Christmas specialty DSP.  I do like my borders on cards, so couldn't give that up and just layered a panel of the DSP rather than covering the whole front of the card. I added a few gold sequins to the sentiment panel to add a bit of bling and sparkle.

  

 I hope you are inspired to join in this week, it is really easy, just look at the projects on pages 18 - 31 of the Holiday catalogue and create your project. You can choose a layout, colour scheme or anything that isnpires you to create your card or 3D project, then add it to the challenge page for this month by following the link above.
