Artful Times Challenge
Hello Everyone. Nice to have you pop into Jumbled Crafts.
I have been invited to join the DT at Artful Times Challenge Blog where I first started blogging when it was called Just for Fun, so I have always been grateful to all of the team there for the encouragement and inspiration.
This week we have the theme of Favourite Christmas Card . This can be a card that you made or one that you received. I think it is a great idea for a challenge and I hope you will all join in.
I chose this card that I made as I have only recently started to do patchwork and thought I would try to make a few cards using the technique. This is quite a large card and I made the front separate and stuck it onto the other card at the back. It is all made by hand and is my own design. It was made from scraps of material that my daughter let me 'rescue' from her scraps box. I then padded it and quilted it. She also gave me a tin of sequins and little beads so I sent the card to her--seemed only fair as she had provided most of the ingredients.
Have a Wonderful Christmas and I wish everyone a Very Happy 2014
Love Chrissie xx

Oh congratulations, Chrissie - that's brilliant news! I've always loved the Artful Times challenges too - and now I'll have even more incentive to play along.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric tree is so pretty - and the touch of sparkle from the sequins works brilliantly. Oh, and I love the little opening e-card at the top of the post too!
