The Flower Challenge 2 #86 Black, White and Yellow

 

Hi Flower fans! If you love to use your flower stamps and dies, the Flower

Challenge is for you!

I used flowers from The Greetery's Wildwood Collection, stamped in yellows.  Opposites

Attract provided my birthday sentiment, and all mounted on a twice cut Cathedral Die.

Hope to see what you do with these colors for the month of November.

Remember, challenge   ends Nov. 25th.

Christmas Sampler

 

I've been enjoying the stencil sets that came with my Greetery order, and played

with Christmas Sampler done with several color ways.

Redwork is a favorite. I have done quilts in red  and white, and even collected red and

white transferware. Decided to put it on a card, and the sampler was a perfect way to see

if I could keep to all reds. With the exception of the cabin, I came pretty close!

I put the sweet little fir die cuts in the top corners, just to dress the card up a bit. The 

frame is from an old PTI die that cut a much more detailed edge. I only used the 

very outside edge, not wanting to hide any of the sweet detail.

Once I got started with this stencil set, I couldn't stop!

There's a blue one...

One done on some textured Kraft, with white ink for stencil one...

...and one die cut  withAida cloth die, which simulates embroidery cloth.

Betsy included some shaker elements in her release, and they fit perfectly on the

sweet little cabin.

4 Christmas cards to add to my stash, but honestly, still way behind!

Happy Holidays my friends!

The Flower Challenge #86 Color Black White & Yellow

 

Welcome to the Flower Challenge. For the month of November, we're challenging

you to use the colors: Black, White and Yellow. 

Not the most traditional Christmas colors, but decided to use Tim Holtz's

Poinsettia die set and create a Christmas card.

I set  my poinsettia on The Greetery's Herringbone Parque Die, and spritzed with

sparkle.

Merry Christmas is cut from  glitter paper, and backed with black

cardstock.

Can't wait to see what you do with this challenge. Definitely a 'challenging' challenge!

Play all month. Challenge closes on the 25th.

Happy Holidays!

A Set of Bright and Merry Christmas Cards

 

Happy November! It's officially the start of the Holiday season, and I have some

Bright and Merry Christmas cards to share. 

This first one includes the popcorn string and stenciled So Very Merry 

sentiment.

The Bubble Lights Die set had me at the pre-release! And Betsy's fabulous green card

with the mercury glass lights and perfect layout, inspired my case. 

First in hunter green...

Then in scarlet. Such fun  to make, had to do more....

I die cut the background from several glitter and shimmer papers, and went to work

putting my bubble lights above the new Christmas sentiments.

I love the possibilities of color for the bulb! IRL, mine are all clear. 

The bubbling occurs when the light heats the water in the candle. My 'bubbles'

are tiny Nuvo droplets

5 more cards for the holiday stash!
