Caught up at last!

Have finally caught up with  Beccy Muirs A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge. Phew! So I'm starting with todays card and working backwards with days 20,19,18.17.

Day 20 is to use the letter R.
I chose to use Red Poinsettia  and Rocker card.
Digi image is Poinsettia by Little Claires Designs. Coloured using my promarkers, gold gel pen and then given a light coating of pearlescent chalks which has given the design a lovely sheen.

 Rocker card  is my own design which has a nifty folding tag inside to hold the rocker open but closes flat for posting and it does rock. Design paper is a freebie from Making Cards magazine Nov 2016. Large circle is my Xcut Circle die, Scalloped circle is by Sizzix and the sentiment circle was punched using my 1.5 circle pinch by woodware.
Entering this card into the following challenges:

Day 19 was  to use the letter Q.
I chose to use Quilted paper  and Quote.
Looking through  my stash of freebie papers I found this super design paper which just cried out to be used for this letter. Unknown make I'm afraid but would have come from a magazine insert at some time.  The huge sentiment/quote stamp is by Docrafts.  I added the silver star sticker from my stash.

Day 17 was  to use the letter O
I chose to use Ornament  and Ornate.
 The  ornament  image is by Digi Stamps 4 Joy and has been coloured in using my Nuvo Glitter Markers,a silver gel pen and silver pearlescent chalk.  Whilst the stripes of papers were still lurking out on my desk I selected 3 colours that were in the ornament colours and created another background. I was originally going to trim the purple ones straight but then had a brain wave(strike whilst the iron is hot) of using top and bottom and thus creating the ornate design . Gives the card a sort of Eastern feel especially with the non traditional christmas colours I have used.

 Entering this card into the following challenges:
