I thought it was about time i looked up some challenges to enter all these cards i am doing .So what did i come across but a challenge to do a card based on a Christmas Carol or Christmas song title
So this is my entry into the Allsorts Challenge Blog
This card was made using two pieces of parchment.The scene is painted on the second piece and the lantern and grid work is done on the first piece .The trickiest part was getting it all lined up..lol
