RUDOLF CHALLENGE MAY 2015

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I do hope you are having a lovely Bank Holiday
weekend, and the weather is being kind to you.
We have had mixed weather here in my part 
of Kent a little bit of sun, and rain also.

I was out with my daughter and her fiance 
yesterday, and when I got home I was exhausted.
So a little nap was in order, but I spent nearly
2 hours asleep, and on awaking I suddenly
remembered I hadn't made my card for the
Rudolf Challenge yet, and it begins today, and
carries on till the end of the month.
So crafting was the order of the evening, and
this is what I created with the Sue Wilson Die
I won on her blog.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I embossed the die, and cut it out, and then 
rubbed a metallic rub -on in gold over the 
embossing.
I have had this set of metallic rub-ons  for more
than ten years, so I suppose it's a little like the
new type of gilding waxes.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
I very much appreciate each, and everyone.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

    Morning Jenny, A stunning card !! A very beautiful compilation, and the recipient of the Christmas card will be thrilled to bits. I'm loving your winning die-cuts especially with the metallic rub-on, and the pine bough and pine cone die-cuts are fabulous ( for the life of me, I haven't been able to get my pine bough die to cut properly yet !!). A stunning card !!
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
