CD Sunday Plus Challenge - #122 - hosted by Jo

I have another Christmas card to show you as my team offering for this challenge.  I will have a couple more though to show you before our break for Christmas but I have now actually finished making for 2023.  I think I have made more than I need but it just means I will have started early for next year.

Here is my card:

This is from La Pashe (where else) and is decoupaged - the pillars, wreath and birds.  I actually think the Mistletoe should have been decoupaged but, whoops,  I couldn't find it.

I am so pleased that Jo is back with the team .

I hope all are well.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #121 - hosted by Pamela

I have a Halloween card for this challenge.  Although I don't personally celebrate Halloween, and never have done, I love the the 'arty' side of the celebration.   I love making cards and ATCs with the Halloween theme.   I also am a serious 'all things Harry Potter' fan.  The films and especially the Audio CDs read by Stephen Fry.

Here is my card which is all digital:

 

The background comes from some Alice in Wonderland downloads purchased from Etsy.  The cauldron and the nasty looking potion both come from Kate Hadfields digital shop folders -  'Franknfriends' and 'Wizadry' . The sayings come from Jan Mayhew.  Folders - 'Haunted' and 'Witches Brew'.

The borders were done using my graphics programme - ACDSee

I have had some correspondence with Jan Mayhew about Halloween and I promised I would show her  some cards I made - using her digital images -  for a Facebook swop to which I belong.

Here they are:

The two ghosts and the flying witch are by Jan.

Again the two ghosts are by Jan

All the images and words are by Jan

The Pumpkin People and the conducting cat are all by Jan. The skeleton and the Mummies are by Kate Hadfield

An extra to go with my CD Sunday Plus card

 I found the pattern for a full beaded version of my current CD Sunday Plus Challenge card.  Luckily I  had enough of the small beads to have a go -  and voila!

 

 In fact it took less time to make this than it took to make the 'stitched' version.  The pattern - of course - came from the same source - Emelie:s Designs.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #120 - hosted by me.

I have made this one a few times as I do like it. The stitch pattern is a download from Emelie:s Designs.

The beads are from my stash. The threads used are by Gutermann and the colouring of the bow was done using chalk pencils.  I love the die-cut 'Happy Christmas', which looks like handwriting, but I can't remember from whence it came.

I hope all are well and I look forward to hopping around all your entries - especially as it is my turn (officially) to choose the Top 3.
