Simply Stampin' - A Sketch for Inspiration
I started by digging out the SU stamp set Pines and Poinsettias to make the Christmas in July card and the images had been popped onto the Sizzix Two Tags die in readiness when I realised that I could maybe use this for the SU sketch challenge. Background paper is from a Papermania pad which I had last Christmas and the ribbon is from a Papermania pack purchased at the same time and not even opened until yesterday - the central border was cut using a Memory Box die (Tessatina) using a scrap of green card. Of course the fact that none of these items had been used for several months qualifies the card for Judith's challenge. Do follow the links above to see other projects made for these challenges.
Great card Val and it cleverly covers all your challenges..like the way you have used the sentiment on die cut..

Val, great use of the sketch using the two tags die. I love your colouring for the pine cone stamp.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with the Simply Stampin' Challenges each week!
Love it. You have echoed the colours in the backing paper so well and I love the pinecones image. Hugs, Buttons x
ReplyDeleteHi Val, love that pinecone stamp. Well done for keeping up with your Christmas cards! I'm completely out of Christmas mode again, must get myself sorted, or I'll be panicking again this year!!

ReplyDeleteI love those two vertical patterned strips with the pink in them & the way the Tessatina border picks out the greens in your design. Don't think I can handle that season yet & I'm going to endeavour making FF this week.

Isn't it nice when a card covers more than one challenge? And when you can use bits of leftover paper, it's even better! I love how you used the tag and the little banner!
ReplyDeleteWell done getting in on three challenges with this fantastic card, I love that little stamp and those gorgeous papers. So lovely of you to join us again at Addicted to Stamps and good luck.

Way to go Val on using up scraps and meeting 3 challenge requirements! The tag die cut works really well with the sketch layout! Love the Tessatina border on the central strip - I really like that die but I always think it may be a pain to glue down!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking part in a Simply Stampin' challenge once more and I look forward to you playing along with us again soon!
