----------------------

Every year at my daughter's art class - they are asked to make seasonal greeting cards .

( paint , draw etc )

The art teacher, Mrs Yong , is also a designer for some greeting card companies in the UK & Australia.

& she sure has some original designs for them every year!

Below are 2 cards drawn by my 11 year old daughter , Deborah

at the last art class for the year.

Their theme this year is Christmas with a humourous twist.

cards were mounted on DCWV cardstock -

couldn't resist adding some peel offs to the 1st one

( got them from the UK ! )

satin ribbon added to the 2nd.

my own first tentative attempt ,inspired by the Design Team !

( learnt a load overnight ! from each & every one's cards )

Heidi Swapp chipboard letters , BG papers

It's nice to try out this doodling idea that we so often see in layouts these days -

doodling on everything & everywhere !

DCM Mid Week extra Challenge - Sparkle !

We're giving you one word to play with this time. How you choose to interpret this is up to you, your card might have the word on it, or contain something to do with the word. It might be a quote or phrase with the word in it. It might convey a mood. So what is this word I hear you ask?

The word for the week is

SPARKLE

---------------------

My first 2006 Christmas card made on Monday just actually ! Revisiting punch art with my own unique "sparkly " touch . In fact I spent the weekend playing with glitter, microbeads , seed beads etc - using stash I've always had but waiting for a work out !

Another Purse card using Heidi Swapp blings , glitter , rhinestone flowers etc

You can use as much or as little ribbon on your card as you like - even just a little ribbon tab counts and you can use ric rac too.
