Colour Challenge

By
This week at Simply Stampin' there is a colour challenge to follow


Some of the ladies on the design team have done Halloween themed projects but I'm afraid I don't do Halloween and I have come up with this instead


This is the very lovely Fresh Cuts set which Bev lent me to play with today and I think it looks fab stamped in the Old Olive ink. The middle panel has been raised up on 3D foam pads but you can't see that on the photo and the sentiment was heat embossed using black embossing powder to make it stand out better.
Short and sweet today folks as I have an evening of meetings tonight - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    This is a really lovely card - I don't really 'do' Halloween either but I do like the colours

    Hi Jaqueline,
    lovely card, old olive is a big favourite of mine. The card has a feel of William Morris about it, it put me in mind of his gorgeous Willow pattern design ! I overlooked this stamp thinking it was too busy but stamped in the single colour it looks great !
    Hugs Jane x

    I usually make one halloween card (for the fun of it - not to send!) and that's the limit of halloween for me! I love your Fresh Cuts card and you're right, Old Olive is the perfect colour to stamp it in! Enjoy your evening of meetings! Vx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. 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!!! 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
