Countdown to Christmas!

Well, we are nearly half-way through the year!  I'm just 3 weeks away from the start of the school holidays and about 10 weeks away from the Boy Wonder heading off to Glasgow - trying not to dwell on that one too much, though.

Although I haven't been able to blog as much as I'd like, I have managed to get ahead with my Christmas cards, largely due to Christmas at Sweet Stampin'.  Our monthly challenge is always Anything Goes at Christmas so you can enter any of your Christmas makes.

Here's my DT card for June



I used a Wplus9 background stamp which I inked in 3 shades of lilac to get an ombre look.  The MFT skater was coloured with Copics and adhered to the card base with foam tape.

And look, no red and green!

If anyone has any tips for taking photos of cards with mostly white card bases please could you let me know?  I just can't seem to get it right.

If it's a bit too early for you to think about making a start on your cards, why not check out the challenge blog here and the lovely inspiration projects the CaSSettes have made?

Hope you can join in the fun with us this month.
