So here we go, the final prompt of 2020 for this challenge!
I hope you’ve enjoyed playing along with all the prompts and have managed to make a card or two along the way. 🙂
For our December prompt we are definitely embracing the cosy indoors and the wintry view from our window.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Christmas cookies and ornaments – you can get the look of piped icing with a white gel pen on brown die cut “cookie” shapes. Alternatively use circle or heart dies to make an ornament embellishment or an aperture that masquerades as an ornament.
- Red, kraft, ivory and grey make a great colour palette
- Tied up with string – feature twine on a tag, as a button and bow combo, or wrapped around your card. Embellish it to the max with winter foliage die cuts or keep it nice and simple.
- Bundled up for the winter – feature knitwear, a scarf, a fun Christmas jumper, mittens or other winter finery whether as stand-alone elements or on a critter, snowman or person.
- Tree landscapes – whether as a border, stamped background or a silhouette to contrast against a blended ink sky, trees can be a beautifully minimal design feature or the main focus of your card.
- Scandi Gud Jul – feature traditional Scandi or other folk art styles. Perhaps you have a Christmas gnome at the ready?
- A smattering of sparkle – whether loose glitter, embossing powder, glitter paper, sequins, confetti – ’tis the season to SPARKLE and shine!
- From our/my home to yours – send Christmas wishes across the miles from one house to another.
- Rustic Christmas charm – deer, buffalo plaid, wood textures, kraft paper…
- Hot cocoa, marshmallows, and a candy cane for good measure
- A window aperture – this could be created with an actual window frame die or using nesting dies looking out onto a wintry scene
I hope those initial ideas help get you started. 😀
Happy crafting!
