Hello! I really must try and get a bit more organised! I have quite a few draft blog posts but keep forgetting to do something with them! Anyway, I am here with a couple of cards for October Rudolf Days. Both of these use the new gorgeous Dawn Serenity stamp, designed by Sandma Cards for Crafty Individuals, along with the snowflake D'inkable from Bee Crafty. For the first I used shaded lilac distress ink and for the second I used tumbled glass, but unfortunately I hadn't cleaned my blending brush enough from using it to blend stormy sky! These are quick and easy Christmas cards to make, so I think there will be several more similar ones. Do pop over to Mo's Blog and see some more lovely Christmas card inspiration.
Don't you just love this wonderful mushroom image? I printed it onto some Mustard coloured pastels paper and coloured it with coloured pencils. The base card was stamped and stencilled with Bee Crafty stamps, inkables and distress oxide inks.
Thanks so much for looking. I do intend having a bit of time visiting some blog land friends during the next couple of days and organising my blog posts a little more!
WOW! Sally, what gorgeous cards, I love the winter frame around the fab robin and your colouring, both amazing cards. Then another amazing card with the mushrooms, fab colouring, beautiful background. YOu make me want to get these stamps! However I have to use the ones I have first LOL.

Two beautiful cards Sally. I love the cards that you’ve made with the robin stamp and you’ve definitely inspired me to make a few Christmas cards with it. Dora’s image is wonderful and your background makes it into a perfect card. X
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Sal, I love the Robin and you know how I feel about 'shrooms!!!!x
ReplyDeleteYour robin card is amazing!! I like this Crafty Individuals stamp so much (I was allowed to choose a stamp because I won the challenge and it was a hard decision: this one or the other one where i finally went for...!)
ReplyDeleteYour mushrooms are gorgeous too!

Such great snowflake backgrounds for the beautiful robin image. Love them.
ReplyDeleteAlso love your autumnal mushroom card.
Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving me a nice comment.

These are gorgeous! The Robin scene is so calm and peaceful, and I love those fab mushrooms on your second card!

Three fantastic cards and the wintry scenes with the sweet bird are both so atmospheric and beautifully done Sally. I love the wonderful fungi on the lovely yellow pastel paper and the background of prettily coloured leaves too, so prettily autumnal. x
ReplyDeleteI love the cards, especially the winter ones, I hope we don't get scenes like that this year though! (someone told me we're expecting a bad winter!)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards.
Love the robin Christmas card very much .. .. it has a very realistic winter feel to it and the colours on your mushroom card are gorgeous.
Have you got lots of stash in ready for being confined to barracks again?
Forgot to tell you. We went to see Jethro Tull at Ripon Cathedral last Christmas. That was probably the last time we went anywhere!
Love Jules xx
Your Christmas cards are so pretty. The inky backgrounds look great...both colours look fab. I thought the blended two shades was on purpose as they look so good.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a robin stamp from Penny Black that has a bit of the same look as your card. I must get it pulled out and give my attempt at an inky sky. It will not look as great as yours though!
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteHappy Rudolf Days.
Oh what gorgeous cards and such wonderful designs also.
I just love Robins and that scene is super.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
