Colour Challenge at Simply Stampin'

By
This week at the Simply Stampin' challenge blog they have a colour combo for us


Guess what - I actually have all the colours this time!
My card uses stamp sets French Foliage and Pocket Silhouettes - take a look


There is a background mat of Chocolate Chip card stock with another mat of Very Vanilla on top. This has been stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink with the french script from French Foliage down one side and the ink splodge down the other - in Chocolate Chip ink. A band of Soft Suede card stock has been punched with the scallop edge punch and a strip of Very Vanilla has been placed on top of that. The little picture has been stamped with the Pocket Silhouettes in Pear Pizzazz and Chocolate Chip inks - this has been matted onto Soft Suede card stock. Finally one of the leaf stamps has been inked with Pear Pizzazz and then dabbed with the Chocolate Chip ink, stamped and cut out - three times and these have been stuck on with 3D foam tape.
There is also a DT Call running at Simply Stampin' and I am hoping that my card will be good enough to qualify for this. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Good luck with the DT call - this card is lovely. When I first saw this stamp set in the catalogue I didn't think much to it but 've seen some really nice work done with it and it is now on my wish list.

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!

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
