Rudolph Day Challenge ...January 2016

the  challenge first Rudolph day of this year....pop over to Scrappymo's blog for the details....
its always fun to make a card for this challenge as anything goes and it makes me try new things...


I had bought some Sue Wilson striplet dies before christmas but had no idea how to use them round the page until I watched John Lockwood on Hochanda.....rushed upstairs to try it and hey ho.....
so I used the 2nd largest of Sue Wilsons double pieced squares set A and positioned the striplet die round the edge 4 times and it worked perfectly.....stuck the die cut mat down using double sided adhesive sheet and then rubbed mowed lawn distress glitter into the apertures....cosmic shimmer berry sparkle PVA for the berries....the sentiment is a heartfelt creations one you will have seen many times before...one of my favorites
Do join in the fun there are always great prizes......
