2021 card challenge - November

Morning all!

The first of November always signifies full on Christmas-card-countdown mode for me. I'm more or less back on schedule with the number of cards I need to make, but it doesn't hurt to add one more to the list. ;)

This month's prompt definitely has all the winter vibes, but if Christmas cards aren't on your crafting agenda right now, then there's still scope for other themes, especially because...

The focus colour for November is: Grey/Silver

The Pin-spiration is....

Past prompts will all be tagged under 2021 card challenge on my blog so you can find them easily in one place.

Also for those of you on Instagram, I'll be using the hashtag #2021handmadecardchallenge to share my projects there, so feel free to use this tag on Instagram as well! :)

Really lovely cards Ellie.

So pretty Ellie. I particularly like the one with the tits.

Thank you ladies. Ther3 is also a bit of sparkle on there, but it doesn’t show
on the photo.
Ellie

Those are lovely Ellie. :)

Nothing christmassy from me but I have just made this which fits the grey and silver theme.... I recently started a teach yourself to draw course with a book my mum bought me for my birthday. This is the first one I am reasonably pleased with and is a bit unseasonal but as you can see it is a daffodil (version 779 odd) and mum will love it as a card as she has been following its progress.

That's great Maria, well done you on learning a new art. It is most definitely a daffodil, and a very fine one at that. :D

Brilliant drawing Maria. Just shows what perseverance can do! Keep at it.
Ellie

Wow Maria. That’s fabulous

Nice work Maria, well done on learning from a book

Fab drawing Maria, and what a special card to receive :)

Maria it took me so long to find your card … it’s beautiful. You have drawn that really well… the angles are hard and you nailed it … I love the shading behind that pulls the flower forward

aww you lovely lot - thank you so much, especially as some of you are really good at drawing, means alot, the encouragement so thank you.

Here’s one from me, trying out the options with my new stamps - grey and silver with a touch of red

Here's my take on the prompt elements.

As for the grey, that subtle stenciled snowflake background was created on white cardstock using light grey ink.

Then we've got the pine cones, wintry tree branches, frosty sparkle, snowflakes, etc.

That's fab Alison, I love the layers of grey tones for the branches. :)

Gorgeous card Nat, love your subtle background:)

Beautiful cards Nat and Alison.

Wow, what a fabulous selection of cards, all stunning!

I'm confused, I find it hard to find this thread these days? Mind you, I was looking for December's prompts at one point forgetting we are still in November.:wacko:

I've gone for the same theme Nat, love the 3d look of yours. A toughy this month but I think I'll get away with it, DH says it is a bit Christmas.
