🎄ABC Christmas - W and X

 I am back from a wonderful adventure to Kansas City, Missouri, and the International competition in barbershop. My chorus came in on a 17th place and we are so very proud of our debut in the world championship.

And it is time for the November challenge at ABC Christmas where Fabiola will host the theme 

W for watercolor and X for xylophone. 

And to avoid any confusion we are aiming for the bright colours of the xylophone for kids, there's a photo inspiration for you over at the challenge blog.

I made a card coloured with my distress inks for W. I cannot remember where the stamp with the carolling children comes from but at least I remember that the embossed stars/snowflakes are Lavinia :)

And as X for xylophone I made a bright background with watercolours and I´m quite sure the image is a Lili of the Valley. Gosh, I'm really bad at keeping track of where my stamps come from. 

🎄ABC Christmas - U and V

 It's time for a new challenge at ABC Christmas, we have reached
U for Unusual Christmas colors and V for Velvet. 

I chose teal, a favourite color of mine and an unusual Christmas color. Raindeers and trees are die cut from black cardstock, the background is done using a circle stencil and distress inks. 

ABC Christmas - S and T

 It is time for a new challenge at ABC Christmas and we have come to S and T.

S for Stencils and T for Traditional Christmas Colors. I chose Traditional Christmas colours in red, green and gold and used a wreath from Poppy Stamps. 

Other challenges:

Holly and Ivy - A/G Christmas

Addicted to stamps and more - Make your mark (using my distress inks)

Allsorts - Autumn Colours or A/G

Polkadoodles - A/G

Inkspirational - Make your mark (using my distress inks)

🎄ABC Christmas - P, Q and R

 It's time for the August challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge and we have arrived at P, Q and R. I'm hosting this challenge and the letters represent P for Pink, Q for quartet (four of something) and R for Rudolph. So many possibilities! 

I chose R for Rudolph and made a soft grey card using Lavinia stamps and distress inks. Sentiment is computer generated. 

A lucky winner will receive two Fizzy Moon stamps, I figured that after Christmas you might need to send some Happy New Year cards and then these will come in handy 🥂

🎄ABC Christmas - N and O

 This month at ABC Christmas Fabiola has set the theme to N for No stamping or O for Off the edge.

I made a gift tag using a stencil and some gold acrylic paint and decorated it with a circle topper surrounded by some die cut lace. No stamping in sight 👀

🎄 ABC Christmas - L 🕯️ and M 🎵
