I have used all GKD stamp sets (City of David and Sentimental Holidays) to make a Christmas card based on a card that I have previously made. Seeing as how I love black and white I decided to use that card to copy. Here it is:

The happy anniversary card on the left is the original card that I copied to make a Christmas card. I white embossed the Joseph and Mary figures on a black CS circle before mounting it on the Spellbinders Lotus Medallion. The saying is from the stamp set Sentimental Holidays from GKD. The black lace border is from Christina Re.

    I hope you are having a creative day.

It's So Easy

Well at Stamp TV they have a weekly challenge called Mix It Mondays and here is the link:

For this week the challenge is to use sewing on your project. It can be real or faux stitching. Although I love to sew I decided to go with faux stitching this time and here is my entry:

The stamp set is from Gina K Designs and is called Under the Weather. The pattern paper is Wisteria Lane also from GKD.  The card base is GKD Pure Luxury Ivory CS. I used Momento ink for stamping in Espresso Truffle and then coloured the bear in with copic markers  E34,E35,Yr20,Yr21,R81.
Spellbinders classic ovals and Lacy Ovals were used to cut the focal image and Fancy Framed tags 2 was used for the sentiment.  Sakura Gel Pen in purple was used for the faux stitching.

Have a creative day.

Yesterday I posted the first of my colour combinations and today I have the other 2. Firstly for Challenge #65. The colours were pale Green, Pale Pink and Tan.

 The card base is in pale pink. The greeting is from IBS Birthday Greeting set and the frame from Fancy Labels 18 all inked in Vivid ink Soft Pink on Tan cardstock. The pale green Doily is from Cheery Lyn Designs "Italian Flourish". The background paper is from a pack of handmade papers in pale green mounted on a tan card base with a scalloped border embossed in the edge.

Hope you are having a creative day.

I found this hard to put together these lovely pastel colours as I usually like bold and striking colours, but here is my entry:

I have used the greeting from the birthday greetings set and the very faint pink border either side of the greeting from Fancy Labels 18 all by IBS.

                          Hope you have a creative day.
