One Layer Christmas Card

By
This week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown we are having a One Layer Challenge


So - quite a quick and simple card from me - take a look


I stamped the images from Ornamental Pine on to Naturals White card stock and the images have a grainy textured look to them and it really was very quick to do: colour and stamp the branch with Baked Brown Sugar and Mossy Meadow in to opposite corners. Before re-inking stamp in to the other corners to give a very faint image. Ink up the pine cone with Baked Brown Sugar and stamp the the other opposite corners - again stamping before re-inking. Add the sentiment in Real Red and with the thin end of a Real Red marker draw in a partial frame. Simples!

Don't forget to pop over the blog and take a look at the other dt entries - see you soon xx

    It may have been simple and quick, but it's stunning! I love how you've balanced the designs in the opposing corners. The bits of red really pop. The naturals cardstock was a perfect choice with the woodsy images. Awesome job, Jacqueline!

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
