Have you anything nice planned this weekend? With Christmas just around the corner I am sure many of you will have parties, get togethers, shopping trips & all sorts planned. I'd love to hear about what your all up to!
I'm having a cozy weekend at home, a little crafting in the studio is planned as I really must make some Christmas cards to send to people. The majority that I have made so far have been left as samples in The Paperlane!
I have kept things simple on this non-traditional Christmas card to share with you today...
I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! seen HERE and below for the layout of my card and whilst exploring blog land earlier in the week I came across this new to me challenge blog called Keep it simple! Currently they have a colour challenge HERE and seen below and I just love those colours. I've not used all the hues on the inspiration photo just 2 of my favourites!
I've used the solid flower from Flower Power #1 as a modern poinsettia adding the trio of dots from Label Love: Christmas and a sentiment also from the same set. I added some shimmer to the flowers with a clear Spica pen, it's hard to see from the photos but it adds a subtle shimmer in real life.
That's all from me today, I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to & thank you for stopping by :)
Supplies
Card Stock: Black & White from stash
Ink: PTI Hawaiian Shores, Smokey Shadow & Raspberry Fizz

ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Beverley and yippee I have both sets so may have to have a play later. X
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Bev. A wonderful combination of the colours and sketch. Have a great weekend. Sue
ReplyDeleteYou nailed that sketch ... fantastic design.
ReplyDeleteBeverley - another delightful card; perfect for both challenges! The colours you've selected are a gorgeous match, and the dotted lines are the perfect compliment! Stunning! I'm off to a craft fair today to see what the local folks here in our little town create - a first time event for me (we've lived here nearly 7 years!!). A bit of a scouting mission to see if maybe, next year, I can set up a table for my wee creations. After that, I'm home to card-make! Have a great Saturday!
