Anything Goes for CCC!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and not involved with those areas that have been flooded, so awful for those people. We have not had all that much rain up here, thankfully, but plenty of very low temperatures, and even some snow the other morning, but cleared up by lunch time.

Anyhoo, it's time for the Christmas Card Club girls to show their latest cards and this time it's our Zoe who has chosen Anything Goes, thank you for that Zoe.

I managed two this time,
I've used this gorgeous CB poinsettia image and heat embossed it in Gold WOW powder on to red card from SU. Once again I've used a sentiment form Creative Stamping magazine on velum and heat embossed with the same gold powder. I didn't add anything else, didn't think it needed it.
I'd like to enter this card into;
http://sirstampalotchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/11/november-traditional-christmas-colours.html

I seem to have stuck with red again with this card. This is a Creative Expression stamp and coloured with Copic markers. I found some Rose Gold mirror card and some very old stripped paper to give a background. Both sentiment and presents come from a Creative Stamping magazine.

So that's it, my contribution for this challenge, thank you Zoe for your choice of theme, I did enjoy this one. Please have a look at what the other girls have created. We are almost at the end of the challenges, only two more to do, and I have a healthy box of Christmas cards, I'm pretty sure that I will have more than enough for my needs and some for Moreen.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last card, id so much appreciate your comments and your visits. Welcome to my new Follower Lourdes TM too,  I'm so pleased that you've chosen to follow me and I hope you come back often. If you do have a blog, let me know as I would love to see what you create.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend whatever your plans have been. Teallach and I have been on our own as Alistair is away to his mountaineering club dinner dance down in Dunkeld. I don't know that there will be much dancing done.. .....the average age of the clubs members is around 90 lol. But there will be lots of reminiscing about climbing back in the day and a great opportunity to meet up with   old pals, especially Alistair's oldest friend from school days. It will be good to hear all about it when he's back.

That's me for now, take care of yourselves and hope to see you soon,

Love the poinsettia beautifully done
No I’m nit sure how much dancing will be done but if the old man we saw dance to dancing queen in Corfu a few years ago after he had a few drinks is anything to go by, it should be a good laugh

Rita said...

Well Done Kate. Two Stunning works of art with those. The Poinsettia one just edges a tad in front because as you know I love them. Hope you're enjoying some Me time and making the most of it too. Hugs Rita xxxx

Hi Kate, two fab cards. I especially like the first one - the gold on red is stunning! As up there, it's been freezing down here - until today. It's turned horrible - very windy and pouring rain. Fortunately, no flooding though. Hope you are keeping well, and warm. Hugs, Elizabeth xx

Two beautiful bright cards Kate and I particularly love the gold poinsettia on the red card, it really pops, and some more shimmer and shine on the second too and some great colouring too. I hope Alistair has enjoyed his evening catching up with old friends, and a good dinner too if maybe a little less of the dancing..lol. x
