Here's the next Challenge - HIMCR #340 - Buttons or Bows!

Here's my make:


I have made an easel card using a precoloured image and background from The Paper Shelter.


I decoupaged the girl by cutting out a second version and adding it with dimensionals.

a new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new  weekly Christmas Challenge

I started with a green card blank matted with some DP from my stash.
I then added a rectangle of sparkly green card and then a pale green die-cut - not sure where this die came from.




I hope you will join the challenge...
