Merry Christmas

Good afternoon.

I got lots done on the crafting front yesterday but little to share with you at the moment, although I did manage a very alternative Christmas card which I'm sharing this afternoon.

Die is a new one from Impression Obsession and I think it will be very useful. Stamps are from Stamploration's Holiday Artsy set. I've masked off the sentiment border before inking through a Memory Box stencil with antique linen DI. Sentiment has been heat embossed with white detail EP. A few gems finish the card off.


Challenges entered:
CAS on Sunday - stencil it

CASolgy - NBUS (die and stamps)


NBUS Challenge - use new schtuff (die and stamps)

Jingle Belles - bring in the new (stamps and die)

  13. Stunning! Love the stamps you've used and the colours - right up my street! The die is great too lol!
    Looking forward to seeing what you come up with tomorrow.
    Not sure if you are interested but I follow Ink Stains with Roni blog. Today Roni started Calender 2015. Roni is sharing all the mixed media steps to create this calender. I'm planning on playing along with what I own and, no doubt, making a lot of my own paints and mediums. I've mentioned it because I think you may be interested - don't worry if you're not. Here is Roni's blog if you want to see what it is all about http://inkstainswithroni.blogspot.co.uk/.
    Roni is a DecoArt Blogger or DT member and I was very lucky before Christmas because she gave away a Gelli Plate :-) guess who got a new toy this week lol?! Karen x

  15. It's not easy to make a modern grunge card and keep it CAS, but you did it, Carol, and you did it brilliantly! And it's in nontraditional Christmas colors, too, which I really love. In fact, I love every element of this!! Thank you so much for playing in both the CASology and NBUS challenges! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
