November Rudolph Days and a call for Guest Designers

Welcome to the November Rudolph Days Challenge! This is our final challenge of 2015. If you have played along with us this year, hopefully you now have many Christmas cards made up and ready to mail.

In celebration of our final challenge this year, we have Sarn of Stamping for Pleasure  as our guest designer.  Sarn previously hosted this  challenge. When she wanted to retire from challenge duties, she asked for a volunteer to take it over and keep it going. I volunteered and the rest is history!

Sarn has made us this gorgeous card. I think the background is stunning! There is some gorgeous texture here too. If you pop over to Sarns blog, you will get a more detailed description!.

You may have noticed that I have hardly been blogging or visiting for the last couple of months as I am still struggling with my health.

Luckily, I have still managed to attend Langley Stampers Club.  This month, Joyce brought a kit for us to make two beautiful Tattered Lace Christmas Boot cards.  I am only showing one of  the two cards she designed for us, as I will show the second one on tomorrows post. In celebration of our end of year challenge, I am going to post a Christmas card or project each day, till the end of the month!

Joyce reversed the colours on the second card and that allowed us to inlay the contrasting diecut into each card. We then backed the inlaid die with a double sided adhesive snippet (Sook Wang brand) and then poured glitter over the cut away details. The white card used here is a heavy weight Centura Pearl Shimmer cardstock. Between that and the red mirri card, this card shimmers so much in real life!!!  It was really hard to get a photo without glare or reflection though...you can see the walls and door of my room in the reflection. Luckily, I managed to hide myself!

Here is a close up of the glittered insert behind the die cut image. The glitter shows up nicely in the filigree cut away design.

This card was great fun to make and I now want to try this idea with some of my other dies!

Our Rudolph Days random prize this month is this Flurry Frame, Memory Box die.

I have an extra prize this month. Anyone who leaves a comment on this post (or my Nov 20th post), will have their name entered in a draw for this Twinkling Snowflake Duet Memory Box Die. Prize winner to be announced on Dec 1st.
                                    
 
Also, I am seeking Guest Designers for the Rudolph Days Challenge.

This would be a 6 month term and would entail making a Christmas card every second month and sharing in the commenting that same month. You would receive a Christmas themed stamp set or Christmas themed die in the middle of your 6 month term.

If you would like to be considered for a guest designer spot,  please add DT to your name on your entry this month. I will announce the teams in the New Year.
