Stamp A Faire Challenge #10

Monday, July 25, 2011

Challenge #10: Layer a stamped images over a stamped background on one layer.
I stamped the light green stripes on the half and half die.  Then I stamped the red poinsettias and dark green leaves over top.

When Erin asked if any of us were thinking about our Christmas/Holiday cards yet, I thought, "No way!"  It's summer. I love summer and don't want to think about the cold weather yet.  After listening to some responses on the podcast I started to change my mind.  How nice would it be not to scramble in November to get  my cards done?  That was it, this year I'm starting early!
Christmas card number one...check!


Cardstock: PTI Ripe Avocado, Spring Moss, White
Stamps: PTI Half and Half, Peaceful Poinsettia, Banner Builder
Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, Ripe Avocado, Memento Black and Sprout
Other: Half and Half Die, DE Banner Die, Rhinestones

    Excellent card! Like the elegance of the design. I too do not want to think about the holidays and cold weather.

    I love this, I have used Half and Half a bunch already but never the background strip stamps. This makes me want to use them! I love the layering, and good for you for getting a Christmas card finished! Back in January I did a few and planned to do some every month, but haven't done any more, lol!
