February Technique Challenge

Hello! It's hard to believe that we are already at the end of our challenges for February. Spring may be on its way next month, but we are being super organised by getting our Christmas cards ready. I do hope you will join us! For this technique challenge, we would like to see some stencilling on your festive card.



Your stencilling could be a background for your stamping or colouring, or it could be the main feature. We can't wait to see your Christmas or winter themed cards. Please read our guidelines carefully before submitting your stencilled creation. Happy crafting! April x

Here are the Design Team's lovely cards to inspire you:

February Sketch Challenge

Hi! It's April here. Welcome to the first of our February challenges - a sketch challenge.



We can't wait to see your interpretations of the sketch. Please remember it must be a Christmas or winter themed card. You don't need to include a Christmas tree if you don't want to, as any festive element will be great! You could also flip the sketch. We just ask that we can still recognise the original sketch within your design.

We love seeing your amazing cards. I hope that you will feel inspired by the creations of the DT:






April
