Well, it is time for our November Challenge at
Stamping Sensations and this month our theme is Christmas. We are being sponsored this month by
Stamp Addicts and I have used one of their fabulous
scenic stamps in my landscape.
I stamped in Chipped Sapphire distress ink onto watercolour paper and then dragged a little colour out using a water brush. I also dusted the sky and some snow drifts using my ink dusters. The trees in the foreground and the sentiment are both
Inkylicious stamps. This is a 7 x 7 card using some lovely navy blue cards I picked up from Doncaster at a bargain price.
For my second card I used one of Nicecrane Designs
winter scenes and used a combination of inkylicious, Waltzing Mouse and Woodware stamps, trying to pick out the colours in the picture with memento and distress inks.
As I said before, we are sponsored this month by Stamp Addicts and they are offering the lucky winner a fabulous £35 voucher. Think of all the great stash you could buy with that!
Do pop over to the
Challenge blog to look at the fabulous creations by my talented teamies. They are such a talented bunch.
Oh yes, before you do here is a quick reminder that I have follower candy

Hi Sally, two gorgeous cards and they are so different. Love the blue landscape scene, but also that gorgeous image on the second is ticking all my boxes :-) hope you are enjoying your weekend. Maddy x
ReplyDeleteAll your scene cards are gorgeous, Sally, and this one is no exception. I love the cool blues, truly a winter wonderland! The pretty border and snowflake are the perfect embellishments.
ReplyDeleteAlso love your second card -I'm off to investigate those winter scene pics!
Love the blues in the first with the water brush technique one of my favourites.

Love both these gorgeous cards Sally, each for it's own style. I have to say the first card brings back memories of the first part of this year and I hope we don't get a repeat of that this winter, lol! Beautiful image on the second one and you've married the colours up perfectly.
