Good morning. Well it is time for our very first challenge this year and Dutchess aka Margaret, who is our leader and co-ordinator, has chosen the theme this time. Her choice is Festive Food. I bought this image from Pink Gem to use for my last years' Christmas cards - but didn't get round to using it. Anyway, it has come in very useful now.
I would just like to say to Margaret that we really appreciate all she does to keep this little club going!
My card is not actually due until tomorrow but since I always have another DT card due on the same day I tend post this one a day early. I do hope you will pop back tomorrow and check out what the other girls have made. You will find their blogs in my side bar.
This is a very simple card. I used a 6" square base card and printed the image off to fit and raised a couple of pieces to give the card a bit of interest.
I know we always say this but time is really flying. Already it is January 9th - and this is only my second post. I'll have to get cracking!
I do hope this finds you all well and not suffering from any of the viral illnesses that are doing the rounds.
Take care.
Gorgeous card Christine, xxx
