2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #8

This week's challenge: No Coloring! You can use different colored ink pads, but no coloring "in". That means no markers, colored pencils, chalks, etc.

Well, I bought this Bo Bunny paper originally for my Daily December album. Since I haven't used it...thought I would be more productive and use it for a card. I seriously can't remember the last time I created a card without my Copics...(I actually can, my dad's retirement card, lol) so making this was actually a real challenge for me. And I made another matching tag this week.

Paper: Pink Paislee
Stamps: Amuse
Pink Paislee Mistletoe Press Ons, K&Co Chipboard Snowflake

Paper: SU Cardstock, Bo Bunny
Stamps: Amuse
K&Co Chipboard Snowflake, Pink Paislee Mistletoe Borderlines

To get the full url, click the title of your blog post (which will load a page that has just that post on it), then copy and paste the URL into the Mr. Linky form. Thanks and please still post a comment so I know you added a card!


Everyone have a great Sunday! I will be cleaning and crafting!

No coloring in? Are you crazy? I guess not because your card and tag are GREAT!

Great cards! While you color beautifully, there's nothing wrong with giving those Copics a little rest once in a while.

Great card and tag, Sparkle! I love the idea of NO COLORING for a change. I played along!

Sarpreet said...

the christmas card is stunning

Jessica G. said...

No coloring is a tough one! I really liked your idea of using the sentiment as the focal point, so that's what I went with, too!!

Tanya Atkisson said...

Very Cute! I would've never thought to use DSP for your focal point. Awesome card! For some reason I don't have the box to add the link to my card? I guess I'll just put it here??? I hope that's ok. Thank-you for another great challenge!
