I always fancied having a year round Christmas shop - unheard of in the UK but I was delighted to find one when I used to live in Houston!
Anyway - on to my card which is for the Watercoolers Challenge this week - and Water tricky challenge it is (oops sorry for the pun) its one layer - clean and simple!
I don't have a lot of stamps that could fit this bill of water apart from the little fish in the Jar of Love but I didn't really want to use him.
So I've been playing with the reflection technique with some of my Christmas cards for another challenge I'm doing, revealed later in September so I thought aha, this would fit perfectly.
I've kept it clean and simple - with only the one layer matted onto cardstock. The trees are from one of the new Christmas Sets - Christmas Magic and the wording is from another new set - Banners For Christmas but this card doesn't really look like a Christmas card I don't think. The trees are stamped in Early Espresso and I've used Pacific Point, Night of Navy and an old SU colour Bordering Blue for the blues.
There's a touch of Wink of Stella just on the water part and a little bit on the moons just to make them sparkle. Otherwise just ink and stamps!
As this is a clean and simple card I'm also putting it in for the Less is More challenge - their challenge found here is Blue and Brown.
PS - did you spot my banner at the top of my blog - I'm over the moon to have been asked to join the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew Design Team for the next four months - my favourite time of the year too. Starting in September.... keep coming back to see some fabulous projects from all the Crew!
