This week the challenge is colour as it's the first Saturday of the month and they've been easy on us, as it's nice and easy and simple - anything green goes! http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2011/12/week-44-colour.html
I've a couple of very quick cards using some stamps that I sent to my blogging buddy Lynne and this is the first time I've made anything successful with them. Her tree is much more exciting than mine!
For the first card I stamped the prima tree in pearlescent thyme ink onto white card and added one of my new papermania sentiments underneath. A little green glitter and and couple of green mats - very quick card and I like it but it's not inspirational, nor particularly CAS!
For my second attempt I went with a pamermania mistletoe relief stamp in the same green ink onto a tiny 3x3 inch card which I will probably use as a gift tag. I stamped a simple black sentiment over the top. A little more CAS but still not very inspirational - I guess this is what you get when you try to craft when you're knackered - sorry ladies will try harder next week (although it's our works do on Friday so I may be crafting with a hangover......)
Time for some sleep now before Christmas shopping round two tomorrow.....
Night all

Wow, these are amazing. I'm very intimidated by designing anything in green so seeing something as fabulous as these two cards really inspires me to try. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSmashing cards Tara. They are both such versatile stamps and look great just as they are or dressed up. Brilliant idea for the mistletoe stamp. Thanks for the mention, bless you.
