The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new ‘anything goes Christmas/Festive’ challenge. Here is my card:
Channelling Tim Holtz yet again, I die cut the soldier layers from the white and grey woodgrain card stock – just colouring his little face a tiny bit. I also used some double sided sticky sheets for each piece – a great tip from Tim – not so much glue oozing out of the edges….!
The background is a piece of patterned paper, to which I added a Spellbinders die cut, and a foiled sentiment.
Doing the soldier this way – and many of the ‘Colorize’ dies I would imagine – would look great from this card stock….
I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas/Festive creations and get your stash ready and waiting for the end of the year. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Most Magical Time of the Year – anything goes Christmas/Halloween
Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenge – Christmas and non-traditional colours
12 Months Of Christmas – anything goes Christmas – option of into the woods not taken
Creative Crafters Challenge – anything goes

This is great. Monochromatic works beautifully in this design. That tin soldier is perfect and I really like the die cut over the patterned paper. A different tip in using wet glue is to let it dry slightly before sticking anything down. It prevents the ooze and works great if you don’t have sticky tape.
