A Little Warm Up

Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. It is that time of year when, finally, I am warming up to make my seventy odd cards to send around Christmas time.

Today I made a quick one layer card using mainly non-Christmas stamps ...


I cut a mask using a Spellbinders ornament die, stamped the leaf (Dee's Artsy Impressions 'Frames and Flowers') in lime and dark green Papermania Pigment ink and blended with a little lime green. Next I stamped my sentiment (Christmas Flower by Shery Russ Designs) using Onyx Black Versafine ink and added the stars (Dee's Artsy Impressions 'Balloons and Banners') in Canary Versa Color to finish.

I am entering my card at:

Less Is More - one layer with theme 'wishing'
Addicted To Stamps And More - Anything Goes
Addicted To CAS - Leaves
Freshly Made Sketches -  their sketch inspired my layout

Here is another look at my finished card ...


I shall be back soon. Have a lovely day!

hugs

Sorry, can't name the exact colours of my Papermania inks as they are not on the ink pad casing

    Fabulous idea to use a die-cut as a stencil! Your non-traditional Christmas card is fantastic! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
