October Rudolph Days Challenge

I have a new format this month as I am not able to post the rules due to the new blogger playing up. So, it is straight into the Rudolph Days Challenge! Our designers have been busy creating wonderful cards for your inspiration . First up is Sue at Sues Crafty Corner blog. Sue has made us this beautiful winter cottage scene, set within a gorgeous stencil. I love that beautiful colour of blue she used for the stencilled bauble design.
Best of all, Sue made multiples of this lovely design. I hope you will pop by her blog and leave her some praise. ************************************************************************** Next up is Sam at Whispers Cards blog. Sam has made us some lovely Christmas bauble cards. First up is this very pretty lavender and white card. I love the non traditional colors used here and the lovely way the baubles are all linked but slightly different!
Sam's second card is another bauble card but a fresh, new design. I love the green glimmer paper background behind that forrest of pretty tree design paper. It really sets of the beautiful die cut tree bauble. Love the gold glimmer card used here and also on the border die strip. I hope you will pop by Sam's bog and leave her some comments on these lovely cards!
My card is a simple decoupage card. The decoupage sheet was from a stack of images one of my Langley Stamp group members brought to give away. She was getting out of decoupage. IT is four layers with the addition of some slender pop dots. I coloured the edges of the flower area pop dots with a red copic pen, as they were close to the edge and I wanted them to blend in. I would try this again as I was happy with the outcome. The background DP is a snippet and the gold fine cord is from my stash. The pretty Merry Christmas is a glitter sentiment that was gifted from a blogger friend. (You now who you are and thanks again).
Here is the side view of the red pop dots.
Our prizes this month are a choice of this Tutti Designs Winter Cottage die
or this Studio Lights Stag stamp

    I love all the DT cards for this challenge - the baubles are all lovely! Mo, your card turned out so lovely with those angled panels and gold trimmings, and the sparkly sentiment looks perfect :)

    What lovely use Sue has made of that stencil. I find them quite tricky to get a good result from.
    I love your card. It has that warm and cosy feeling. I like decoupage, but it doesn't make cards that are easy for international mailing so I don't do so much now.
    How quickly we are approaching the end of another year of this challenge. I so enjoy taking part, so Thank you for all the work you do to host it. Kate x

    Thanks for another Rudolph Day challenge Mo. How fun that two of the DT used Christmas ornament designs, and those are gorgeous cards. Your decoupage card is just exquisite and looks like so much work! You did that kit proud.

    Hi Mo

    Great inspiration from the DT - and what a fabulous idea to colour the edges of your pop dots. I never even considered that!

    Have to admit my blog posts are very hit and miss at the moment - hopefully Mr Blogger will settle down soon.

    Love Jules xx

    Hi Mo

    Tried to leave a comment earlier but I don't think it went through as I got an error message! If you receive two comments then I apologise.

    More lovely Christmas inspiration from the DT .. .. your card is lovely .. .. and what a clever idea to colour the edges of your pop dots. I have never considered doing this. Great tip!

    Mr Blogger seems to have a mind of his own at the moment. My posts have been acting very weird for a while now. But hey ho! They aren't taking any money off us!

    Love Jules xx

    Hi Maureen,
    Happy Rudolf Days.
    I love your card and the beautiful scene in that image.
    Great traditional colours and such pretty poinsettias too.
    I am a little late this month with my entry but better late than never as they say.
    Will pop over to Sue and Sam to leave them some love also.
    Thank you so much for all your hard work involved in this wonderful challenge.
