Each of our challenges will have a mood board for inspiration and will be anything goes - you can create anything you want to as long as your finished project is no bigger than 4 by 5 inches.

To join in you need to join the Marvellous Mini Masterpieces Facebook Group here.

Here is the mood board for today's new challenge:

I die cut my tag using a Tim Holtz die and then used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink lightly to colour it.

I then cut another piece of white card and used the Tumbled Glass ink and Shaded Lilac to create the background.  I used the Stampin' Up Snow Front stamp set to create the scene, stamping the hills in Tumbled Glass and the other elements in Memento Ink.

The sentiment is also from Stampin' Up and I added some snow highlights with my chalk pen.

From the mood board, I used the colours, silver fibres which look like fireworks and the celebrate theme.

Scribbles Designs Special Event - Give the Gift of Thanks This Holiday Season

 

This year has been a very difficult one for many people due to the ongoing pandemic that has reached into almost every corner of our world. Many heroes have stepped up to the plate to help, putting themselves into harm's way. One group more than any other, risks their lives on a daily basis since they come into the most contact with those that are sick: our medical professionals. Doctors, nurses, orderlies, cleaners and other clinic and hospital staff members.

Traditionally, Christmas is a time of giving. This year at Scribbles Designs, in celebration of those individuals in the health care system, we'd like you to create a card and send it out to a medical professional in your own community who could do with some praise. You could send it to your own doctor or nurse; a family member, friend or neighbour you know who works in the medical profession; or, you could send it to a group of doctors or nurses in your local hospital. Odds are there is someone out there in the medical field who would be more than happy to receive a card thanking them for all they've done during the last several months.

To help you out in this endeavour, we are willing to provide you with ONE of three new images that Sandy has designed specifically in honour of these important medical professionals.  You can also request one of three new sentiments.

In return for your choice of a FREE image and sentiment, we ask the following:

Create a card using the image and sentiment (if requested), for a health care professional in your local community.

Please come back to this post and add it to the linky list on the post

Leave a comment letting us know whom you intend to send the card to. 

Along with receiving the image and sentiment for free, you'll also have the chance to win the full Health Care Heroes Set, plus there may be an extra prize or two, but that will depend on how many entries we get.

All the details can be found here on the Challenge Blog.

And here's my card:

I used Brrrnice Healthcare Worker and HCW Thanks to create my card.

I also use Promarkers and background paper from Kanban.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday - anything goes

2 Crafty Critter Crazies - anything goes
