My Time to Craft Christmas 113 - Smooshing

My Time to Craft Christmas 113 - smooshing
https://mytimetocraftchristmas.blogspot.com/

I used to sometimes use smooshing with inks or paints when I was making handmade cards, but unfortunately I can no longer make handmade cards due to my sore hands and bad eyes so I have used a digital paper that looks a bit like it.

I have used WondersArtist paper from Colorful Snowflakes paper set 
WondersArtist coloured clip art from Snowflakes and Ice Crystals and Christmas Landscapes part 2 
Mini clip art sets.  Added ribbon and We are 3 sentiment

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

Conjurer of Dreams Facebook group progressive freebie

 At the beginning of each month Conjurer of Dreams gives a free image to join the progressive freebie challenge.  If you make a card and put it on the group you then receive the next image by email.  Then when you make a card with that image and post it on the group you receive the next one.   There are 4 images each month,
https://www.facebook.com/groups/690288322484648

I made this card with last week's image but had not yet put it on my blog.  I am running behind with everything as my eyes and pain in my hands and arms are worse.  But I am still here.

I used the free image with Conjurer of Dreams frame from Ivy frames set and blue silk backgrounds
