I did manage to have some mojo return over the weekend and created a few Christmas cards to add to my slowly growing stash. The prompting from Darnells weekly IDEAS theme - 'A' for Anything Goes, fits both my cards.
AND to help Jo celebrate
100 Christmas Kickstart challenges,
CONGRATULATIONS --well done Jo
I made this gold, red and white card featuring 'spots'
Stamped and gold embossed this Christmas Flourish stamp 'off the page', then decorated it with some punched sparkly red holly and finished with a gold embossed sentiment on a raised die cut circle.
Add the Design Element this month at Group of Seven Card Makers is -- Generation Stamping
Well I fluffed around for any ideas for a Christmas card... and trees seem to be the answer but living in Australia and having Christmas in Summer it funny making cards with snowy winter themes.
But this is my effort - masked the snow slopes and created a weird patchy sky. Next I stamped the large tree with Distress Ink and then with the mask in place stamped a row of generation trees for the horizon.
Finished with a gold embossed sentiment and a green matt edge.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have an amazing day
Cheers Robyn
These are beautiful, Robyn! I love the flourishy gold holly and red schparkly berries and how the sediment font works perfectly with it! And your wintry scene is chilly and amazing! I love your hills and weird sky! Thank you for using the I.D.E.A.S. Calendar to inspire others! Hugs, Darnell
