September Rudolph Days

Wow September already and not only that it's the 25th which means that it's time for  the Rudolph Days Challenge over at Scrappy Mos. For my card/s this month I cased a card that I had seen over on Eileen Godwin's Blog, she was teaching the technique at her workshops at the beginning of September. As I knew how to do part of the technique and also had the stamp that she used I decided to see what I could do. The background is made  with a score board and then distress inks pulled gently over the top, I then stamped the large bauble from the wonderful set by Pink Ink  and coloured with Alcohol Markers, then finally I added a sentiment which was from a set by Crafters Companion. I must admit to being please with the results and I now have nine more cards to add to my stash. I do hope that you have time to pop over to Maureen's blog and see what the DT have to inspire this month and come and join the fun, there's even a prize for one lucky person chosen at random.


 Below are the different colour combinations that I tried.


Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

These are beautiful cards, Sue! My mom had this type of ornament when I was growing up, and now I just love to include them in our decorations. I also love the background and will try it myself when I get a few minutes! Thanks for sharing :)

Your fabulous cards brought lots of fond memories of decorating my Mum's tree when I was a kid. She had so many hand blown ornaments and lots of really fragile ones!
Your bauble would have fit right on.

Love the background technique. I think we made some of these when I was crafting with you last year. That was such a precious time for me!

Thanks for all your hard work on the design team....9 cards...I am amazed!
