Daring Cardmakers Challenge
This weeks challenge at Daring Cardmakers is holiday specific
Well, the time has come for our first Christmas card dare of 2007. . . . we'd like you to make and show a Christmas card which incorporates the following:
Some Paper Tearing
The colour Purple
AND
It has to have at least one hole somewhere in the design!
......BUT by "hole" we don't just mean the sort of hole you poke a brad through, or the holes you make for/with stitching - or even the hole you make to put an eyelet in - although you can use all those techniques too if you want.
We want you to be a bit/lot more inventive and creative than that, and we think you'll be able to come up with some wonderful ideas for making cards to fit this recipe.

This was such a fun challenge and you can always use an extra Christmas card, so I made two. If you look closely, or maybe you shouldn't, the paper tear is behind my little bird, used two different colors as a mat. I used my stickles on both cards.
UPDATE: I have had several questions regarding this stamp, the partridge is from TAC Hostess Stamp Set.
