Today is the start of a new challenge and the theme this week is H is for Hotspot. If you have never made a hotspot card before you are not alone. This was a first for many of us on the Design Team but we have all had a great deal of fun once we got over our initial fear. Dorte has created a wonderful tutorial to outline this technique and it can be found over on the ABC Christmas challenge blog.
We are being sponsored for this challenge by Simon Says Stamp who are offering a $15 store certificate to one lucky winner. We are also offering the chance for you to be a Guest Designer if you follow the tutorial.
This is my first card using this technique. The image is from Stampavie and I have coloured the hotspot using Copics. I have opted to also try a Z fold card which I have made using Basic Grey papers from the Jovial collection. I have used a ribbon to hold the card closed and have embellished using some Magnolia dies and a red flower from my Stash.
This is the full view of the card opened up.
I hope that you will join us in this challenge, it really is a lot of fun and I know that I will try it again. Be sure to head over to the ABC Christmas Challenge for the tutorial and more inspiration from the rest of the DT.
Happy Crafting!
