November Reject Blog Hop

Well, here we are again, another month gone by in a rush.  But I have not been idle, dear reader, a month full of PC submissions and making everyone else's Christmas cards but my own.  I did have 1 project picked up, always a good thing, but it was not my favourite, these 2 were.  As everyone keeps saying you just never know what they are looking for.

I have stitched at intervals down one side of this divine Cristina Re paper then used the reverse for the background.  The violet colours of the rose aren't usually one of my go to schemes but I think it worked particularly well.

This next one was loosely based on a card I did for my Mother-in-law earlier this year, again CR paper but in blue.  Not sure who could be the recipient of this but maybe  it will go in the box of keeper cards.  I had a peek  at some of the other "rejects" and they are gorgeous - we have some very talented people in cardmaking-land.

I can handle rejection!

Nothing in the inbox so my cards didn't make the cut this time, oh well....  My choices were abit limited in what the editors were looking for, I could only really have a go at the sketches as I couldn't get the colours for the colour challenge and Halloween isn't an Australian tradition and who would I give the card to.

So here they are ...

I love this idea of a reject blog hop, you see so much really brilliant work for  crafters that I probably wouldn't come across.  Thanks Amber.
