Keeping Christmas: November 2018

It's time for the November installment of Keeping Christmas with The Challenge design team!  I mixed it up a bit this month by making a Hanukkah card using a new stamp set from Neat and Tangled. 

I colored the set's dreidel people images with Copic markers, then used my Scan 'n Cut machine to cut out the colored images.  I made a simple background for the images by layering panels of two different shades of blue, one dark and one light, and adhering them to the edge of a medium blue card base.  After positioning a long sparkly, shiny fishtail flag strip over the blue panels, I added the images on top using foam tape for dimension.  The Hanukkah sentiment was stamped just above the blue panels in black ink.

Don't miss what the rest of our team has created to inspire you to get a head start on your holiday card making!  There is a lot of inspiration and ideas to get your creative juices flowing.  Here's where to find the team members:
