In a Sweet Pea Dream - Challenge 3


Over at the In a Sweet pea Dream Challenge Blog the challenge is Christmas.  I haven't got any of the lovely Sweet Pea Christmas stamps so have adapted one I already had using typical Christmas colours of red and green.  I have coloured the image with Promarkers/Copics and the sky has been filled in with chalks.  I then tore the edge of the image with my X-cut tearing ruler and then distressed the edges with a glitter chalk (these ones are more like a paste and a little more difficult to use but I thought perfect for the edges).  I have then layered the image onto some scraps of paper and put some leaf brads in the corners which I have had since I first started cardmaking and never used.  The backing papers are two scraps leftover from a Crafty Ann's Design Team card and the bottom piece is a scrap leftover from a piece of Basic Grey paper.  The card is then finished off with some poinsettias from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop which I have painstakingly cut out, a ticket sentiment and a ribbon bow.  Certainly a non-traditional Christmas card.

This card also fits the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon - Something old/something new - old is the brads and new is the ribbon bow
ABC Challenge - F is for flowers
Just Inspirational - Stamped project
Sarah Hurley - Colouring
Paper Cutz - Anything goes

  12. Kym, I love how you have adapted a non traditional stamp to create you Christmas card. She is magnificent! By the way the poinsettia are lovely and well worth the time.
