Good morning I hope today finds everyone well and for those that are not I wish you a speedy recovery.
Today is the start of a new challenge over at Moving Along With The Times and this fortnight Leesa has set us the challenge of 'Shape Up' meaning no square cards.
I decided to make something different for me although it is only a rectangle card and not a fancy shape. I made my card base from a piece of red card I got ages ago from the Papermill Shop and then took a piece of bazzill kraft card stock and firstly printed the sentiment onto it, then stamped my image and die cut the bottom edge. This is my first attempt at stamping and colouring on kraft and I really like how it turned out.
Supplies:-
Card stock - Papermill Shop & Bazzill
Sentiment - Computer Generated
Medium - Promarkers
Dies - Spellbinder Edgeabilities
Gems - Stash
Promarkers Used:-
Leaves - Holly, Pine & Lush Green
Baubles - Crimson, Berry Red, Red, Holly, Pine & Lush Green
Challenges I would like to enter this into:-
Celebrate The Occasion - Christmas In August
LEJ Designs - Clean and Simple
Dream Valley - Die Cuts & Punches
No Matter Which - Anything Goes
Sentimental Sundays - Clean & Simple
My Mum's Craft Shop - Kraft It
Mema's Crafts - Anything Goes with the colour Red
Thanks for stopping by and please pop by the challenge blog to see all the other wonderful shaped creations.
