Waffle Flower Crafts - November Challenge

Another month has passed us by, which means its another month closer to Xmas (eeekkkk!) but it also means a new challenge at Waffle Flower Crafts.  


Masking is our technique for the month, so I can imagine the Gallery will be filled with very clever card designs. We also have this sketch and colour combo to help you along:





I'll be honest, I don't have much experience with Masking but the more I do it, the more confident I feel about the technique. And the designs you can create are so incredible!! I decided this was another chance to add to my Xmas card stash, so I used the sketch to help me along:


I stamped the stocking outline on some masking paper and fussy cut. After stamping the first stocking at the top of the card, I used the mask over it to stamp the next one and then did the same again for the third one. I love removing the masking sticker, its almost like magic!!

I stamped the stripes and then die-cut the bows from red CS. I glued these to each stocking and covered them in Wink of Stella. Next I stamped the presents and candy cane on some white CS, used their matching dies and coloured with pencils. The sentiment was also stamped on white CS and fussy cut. I adhered the presents and cane to the card front and put the sentiment up on foam tape. A few Xmas coloured sequins finished it off!!

This card was made using Waffle Flower Crafts 'Stocking' stamp set and matching dies. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.



The challenge ends on the 25th November so you have plenty of time to link your creations using your Waffle Flower Craft products. Hope to see you in the Gallery and can't wait to see what you create!!

Take care
Shona
