Christmas cards for soldiers


This is a great idea over at the Cowgirls Sunday Stamp'en challenge blog this week. Basically you make a Christmas card for a soldier to send to a loved one (no glitter as could cause safety problems - felt a bit weird making a Chrimbo card with no glitter, but I am pleased with the result!) So here is my card for the challenge which I am going to send off to the soldiers. It seems to be (I think) a US address to send it to so will check the postage at the post office (well, will get hubby to when he is sending off parcels from his ebay empire!)

The card was made with a cute Penny Black stamp (coloured with promarkers) which I got as part of a set with a magazine subscription recently and some cuttlebug embossed paper.

I am also going to enter the card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - Wild thing (the hedgehog)

Cupcake sketch challenge

2 Sisters - Christmas (also collecting cards for the soldiers, contains full explanation of the no glitter rule also!)

Sarah Hurley - polka dots and circles and last but by no means least,

Just Inspirational - Christmas
