Christmas

 

        Stamp: Christmas Tree from Hot Off The Press, a freebie from Simply Cards & Papercraft 102, poinsettia die, MS Snowflake punch, soft pastel, Spellbinder Classic Oval die, Cuttlebug embossing folder

I die-cut an oval shape from white cardstock and then embossed it. Coloured the background using soft pastel on another piece of cardstock and adhered to the back of the embossed cardstock. Stamped the tree stamp and added poinsettia flower and the sentiment which was stamped on snippet of leftover white cardstock.

I am inspired by Judy's (of Double D Challenges DT) card, a technique which I have never tried before. Love the outcome.

Autumn Hello

 

Stamp: Inkadinkado maple leaf rubber stamp, 

sentiment: CC Design

others: multi-tone green and orange colour ink pad, soft pastel

    Today I pull out one of my very much less 'loved' rubber stamp from my craft cabinet (out of sight, out of mind, lol!). I inked the stamp with multi-tone orange dye ink pad and also a multi-tone green ink pad. Fussy cut the leaves. 

    The background was coloured with yellow and orange soft pastel using Nagomi technique, which is using our fingers instead of brush to colour. Stamped the sentiment on snippet of white cardstock and layered onto black cardstock to highlight it before adhering to the slimline card.
