A tough challenge this week at AAA Cards blog – 1/9th. The idea is that all the elements on the card fit into a rectangle only 1/9th of the card area. Up to now, I’ve met the challenge following the guide image on the blog, which is in a grid pattern. This time, I’ve used a rectangle across the page in a landscape format 1/9th the height of the card. Within it, I have drawn and coloured my gnomes along with trees – all of which together look suspiciously like a Christmas card. Given at the time of making and writing the temperature here in Leicester is a roasting 39ºC, it was the furthest thing from my mind!

1/9th is 1/9th how you do it is up to you and I love this version, the example is rectangles or squares but strips are equally gorgeous and keep the card CAS which was the main goal for our challenge. I love it, well done!
I love it! The little gnomes and trees are so cute, I love how they all differ, and your take on the 1/9 of the card is absolutely brilliant!
Love you’re take on the 1/9th. Fab card.
A cute row of holiday images – wonderfully drawn and colored. You’re such a rebel with your manipulation of the 1/9th area!
OMG you draw that I love the line of gnomes, too cute!
