Hi everyone!
This is not a regular post... Let me introduce you to Nonni's Card Challenges! I'm organizing two Christmas card challenges this fall: the first one begins today (yay!) and the second challenge begins 1st of November. I'm proud to have a sponsor too: Stamplorations Stamps! The winner is chosen with random.org and will receive It's All About YOU Stamp Set. The challenges run until Christmas Eve so the winner is selected just before the Santa visits! If you are new to Stamplorations , here is some information for you:
Launched in June 2013, California-based STAMPlorations is owned and
managed by husband-and-wife team, David & Shery Russ. We offer cling
rubber stamps, clear stamps, and stamping kits for stampers, card
makers, scrapbookers, mixed media artists, and all crafters. All of
our stamps are proudly made in the USA. Our rubber stamps are
deep-etched and made from high quality rubber, while our clear stamps
are made from the finest, non-yellowing photopolymer resin and they're
naturally sticky. Through our stamp line, we hope to encourage
crafters of all ages and experience levels to "Stamp with all your
ART!". We come out with new stamps approximately every other month.

I've gathered a fab DT to inspire us all but before checking out their cards, let's have the challenge details!
The theme of my first challenge is
Let's Get Inky -Stamp A Happy Christmas!
Let's create Christmas cards with stamping playing the main role! You could use fun techniques like masking and combine background stamps with smaller stamps... Or how about using non-Christmas stamps for Christmas and playing with some embossing powders? Or stamping with watercolors? Or tone on tone stamping maybe? The possibilities are endless... Let's get inky and creative! You can choose any style from CAS to vintage, what ever you like the best... You can use embellishments too -just don't cover up your fabulous stamping completely!
Now finally some DT inspiration! The names are links to everyone's blogs -this is a group of very, very talented ladies so I hope you'll visit them and leave them some love!

I'm entering my card to Less Is More Sketch Challenge. The snowflakes are stamped with metallic silver Embrace ink and the deer is heat embossed with gold powder. "Joulurauhaa" is Finnish for "Peaceful Christmas".
