Another Saturday is here (and another scheduled post from me), and it's time for a new theme at
Allsorts challenge. Lynn
is hosting this week and her theme is ... "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas". Of course as always there is the Anything Goes option too for those
maybe done with Christmas makes or maybe you celebrate another holiday
instead. We welcome all your new crafty makes (up to 3 per person). Our prizes
come from AALL and Create, there will be 2 prizes this week.
Here is what I made:
I decided to use this cute stamp from Penny Black from the set
Gather Around. I colored with
Zig Clean Color markers. I wanted to use
some non-traditional colors this time so I incorporated navy and I found this
pretty navy patterned paper that came as part of a
Scrapbook Customs paper pack.

After coloring the image I inked the edges and stamped the little snowflake on
the background which is part of the
same stamp set. The sentiment strip on
the bottom of the card is the pattern on the other side of the patterned paper
(double sided designer paper) so I decided to simply cut a strip and use it
for the sentiment part of the card. Some gold cord and a bow finish off the
card. I did use a Wink of Stella brush
on the ornaments and star but it doesn't show up too well.

ReplyDeleteVery sweet Ellie, the bauble colouring coordinated with the background DP perfectly and the addition of the glitter thread add a perfect finishing seasonal touch.

I like the navy colored patterned paper with those cute mice decorating the tree, but I especially like how you flipped the paper to create the sentiment panel. That's so clever and looks perfect too.
ReplyDeleteLove your card! I won't participate in the hop, as I've been on an inadvertent blogging hiatus, but I will definitely visit all the participating blogs. And you've inspired me to get back into posting at least once a week in 2025.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful whimsical card with the cute Penny Black image, beautifully coloured with your Zig pens. The dark shading round the edges of the scene really makes the image pop! xx
ReplyDeleteEntzückend diese Mäuschen, liebe Ellie. Eine traumhaft schöne Karte.
ReplyDeleteEinen wundervollen 2. Advent
wünscht Dir und Deinen Lieben
Anke
