ABC CHRISTMAS -- P FOR PINK, Q FOR QUARTERS, AND R FOR REINDEER -- AUGUST 10, 2022

Hello friends, and welcome back to my blog! Can you believe that we are in August already? 😲 I hope you are all doing well and ready for the new challenge at the ABC Christmas challenge blog.  This month's challenge is 3-fold, P for Pink, Q for Quarters, and R for Reindeer.  Here is my card:

At first, I was a bit stumped as to what the "quarters" part of the challenge meant, until I saw some of the other DT cards (those ladies are always farther ahead than me!) ...and then I knew EXACTLY what image I had to use for my card!  Sadly, it is a Bugaboo image, so I have no way to link it; but it is an image that I still enjoy working with.  I used the Silhouette Design program to size the image to fit a 5.5" square card with a nice border around the edge.  I also added some stitches around the image, but they don't really show up very well.  The scalloped card base was also created in the software program, and everything was cut with my Cameo.  I used alcohol markers as my coloring medium, and I added details with a white gel pen and the clear Wink of Stella brush pen.  The image panel was glued down flat, and the card is done!  I killed 3 birds with one stone in this challenge - HA!
