Happy, happy Monday!
I didn't get much time in the craft room to create over the week-end, but did do some more organizing...almost there! I have been enjoying the cooler weather that we had and was also gathering for a community garage sale next Saturday...so happy to get into the garage and do some sorting there too!
Onto today's card that I made this morning. I saw a few challenges that I really wanted to make this card for and happy that I did not overstep any deadlines. You can see at the end of the post what they are. I started off with a Heidi Swapp stencil and sponged the four colours that the current Colour Q #258 challenge is requesting. The little house from SU Holiday Home and it's matching die is coloured with the same inks and a water brush. I stamped a PTI sentiment and a trio of hearts from the Love Lives Here Holiday set into the open heart and atop the chimney with SU Blackberry Bliss. The large love die is a SSS exclusive from a love you big die and that was cut from Hello Honey CS.

ReplyDeletePretty card!
ReplyDeleteYou did such an amazing job on this card! I love the blending you were able to do with those yummy Sherbert-like colors. Gorgeous color palette! I was also really impressed when I read your post and saw that you used so many holiday stamps to make this card, yet it doesn't have a holiday feel at all. You inspired me to take a second look at my holiday stamps and see how they could do double-duty for everyday cards, too. Thanks so much for the inspiration and for sharing this with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. You definitely rocked the stamping techniques!
