December Challenge: Nearest & Dearest

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December challenge at WITHOUT WORDS.

With the last posting dates looming, now is the time to be focussing on the cards that don't need

a trip to the Post Office so our challenge this month is

NEAREST & DEAREST

We would like you to make a Christmas or New Year card for someone close to your heart

Don't forget, we would like your card to be CAS

With minimal (or none at all) embellishments

Your card must feature a handcoloured image (stamped or digi)

And must follow the theme of the challenge

And yes, you can use sentiments but the focus must be your image

We are thrilled to be sponsored again this month by the lovely Nikki from Bunny Zoe's Crafts with a £10 store voucher - and if that doesn't tempt you then nothing will!

So the Word Birds have got out the tinsel, sprinkled the festive sparkle and created these little beauties for your inspiration.  It would be lovely if you have a moment to visit their individual blogs to share your appreciation for all their hard work.

I know it is only the 2nd of December, but we won't be back until January with the next challenge so this is our chance to wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and to thank each and every one of you for taking part in the Without Words challenges throughout the year.  Thank you so much for all your support and enthusiasm.  We have seen some absolute beauties and it has been a joy to be able to share them with you.  Wishing you all the peace, joy and happiness of the Season.  Happy Colouring!

Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful entries this month - because of the way the calendar falls, the challenge will close on 2 January at 5.00pm (UK time).

Hugs, Squirrel & The Word Birds
