ONE CORNER CAS CARD

The challenge over at AAA Cards #151  this week is One Corner Cas Card 





I decided to make another Christmas card - you can never have too many!  I wanted to use the Holiday Style set from Sunny Studio and forced myself to not use that gorgeous bell!  I stamped the branch with some Ranger Adirondack Earth Tones in Oregano and added some Chocolate Chip from SU with a marker pen to the branch stem.  I also added a touch of Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Shabby Shutters with a sponge dauber among the leaves.  I used Stampin Up Real Red and Cherry Cobbler to make the ornament and the same colours for the bow.  I added some Dazzling Diamonds to make it shine.  The sentiment which comes with the set was simply inked in Cherry Cobbler.

The Challenge at A Bit More Time to Craft is Anything Goes 

 

TRY STAMPIN ON TUESDAY - # TS0T423

Our sketch this week at Try Stampin on Tuesday has the optional addition of using plaid or checks.

I chose to do a Christmas Card as I've recently bought the beautiful stamp set Holiday Style from Sunny Studio.  Being in the UK it is sometimes too expensive for us to order anything from the US as the postage is so expensive. I was delighted that this wasn't the case with this company and my parcel was here within a week!  I just adore these bells and they are so clever the way just using ink makes them look as though they shine.

I chose to use some black card stock as the base and a sheet of the gorgeous plaid paper from Festive Chalkboard - it's my last piece -eek!  I added a strip of black and stamped the bow from the set in Versamark ink.  I used Old Olive for the fir tree and SU inks in Basic Gray and Going Gray and Memento Black ink for the bell.  I cut out a bow in the same plaid paper and attached a sparkling rhinestone in the middle. The sentiment comes from the same set.
