Good Morning everyone!
Firstly my apologies for lack of blogging this week, I have been super busy all week sorting out all the arrangements for our birthday weekend at the shop. I really cant believe that we have been open for almost a year!
The card that I am posting today is the one that I have done for the Allsorts Challenge this week which is entitled One Layer Card. Now, when I saw this title I thought Oh! I cannot tell you the last time that I did a one layer card. I decided to do a Christmas card using various Creative Expressions stamps. I started by using the Heirloom bauble from Spellbinders to use as a mask to sponge through with Broken China distress ink. I went on to stamp various images and embossed them using black sparkle embossing powder from Creative Expressions. This embossing powder really does sparkle with an array of gorgeous colours. I finished off the card with a little pearl pva glue under the trees to represent snow.I wasnt sure if I broke the rules by putting on the bow, but I hope not. Pop over to the challenge to have a peep at the other DT cards and have a go at the
Allsorts Challenge. There were some fabulous entries in last weeks challenge.
Anyway, must dash now as we have a Cricut workshop at the shop today so, I hope that you like the card, if you havent finished your Christmas cards yet you could have a go at this one.
Bye for now

Hi Jo, What a fantastic card , this is so creative and even though it is one dimensional it feels like a very layered creation.

Love the branches Jo, it looks like you are peeping out from the forest! The embossing is gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. love the idea of stenciling the background bouble.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful!!! I always feel very inspired after watching you demo on c&C and recently used this colour combo and the same stamps and dies on some of my cards. I had great feed back. Keep up the great demos Jo! Please can you tell me where I can get the anti static bag from as I am having trouble locating one. Thanks Jo X
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely card Jo. I really enjoy visiting your blog and seeing your cards. Hope you're back on C&C very soon. Good luck with the celebrations.

Gorgeous! Love the way that you have framed the picture by having the branches coming in from the edges, it gives the illusion of depth, brilliant

Hi Jo
ReplyDeleteYet again another stunning card, and think it actualy looks better in the 'flesh' so to speak.
Must admit I love using these stamps and actually enjoyed this challenge even though it certainly was out of my comfort zone.
Looking forward to the Birthday Bash next weekend
