About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson, and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

2018 card challenge - November prompt

Well good morning November!

You've certainly set the scene for the season ahead.

Cold, wet and grey. :(

With Halloween out the way, I'm sure many of you are looking to get productive with your Christmas and winter crafting projects.

So this month's challenge is all about...

Setting the scene

This is one of my favourite styles for Christmas cards so I'm definitely going to employ it in my 2018 Christmas card production series.

If you don't have border dies or stencils that will help you create a landscape scene, you can always make your own masks from post-its to create rolling hills and make dramatic skies with ink blending.

A snow globe is also a great way to make a scene your focal point.

But remember it can be any scene, not just a wintry landscape.

There are lots of great ideas out there from the design teams for companies like Lawn Fawn, My Favorite Things and Mama Elephant showing ways to make character images really stand out.

In the meantime, here's one of my "scene" cards from a previous year for wintry inspiration:

Happy crafting!

Fabulous card Nat! I love the way you've opened the little door but you're letting the heat out as my dad would say.
