Inspiration Journey today!

Yesterday I wanted to play along with the Christmas Muse card this week. This week there the card was by the very talented Kimberley. The card was not my normal style but I was in the mood for water colouring so decided to give it a go. I was mainly inspired by the water colour effect and the foliage in the left hand bottom square (see below). I came up with this:

I embossed the leaves and sentiment (from Happy Little stampers Mixed Christmas sentiments) and then water coloured. To be honest I am not happy with this card but I wanted to share with you how this card led me to the card below-which I really like and it makes me happy. This is what happened-I was looking at my water coloured card thinking I am not happy with this and then decided-why not just stamp this following the same design and adding some holly and a few gems. I did this and created this card, which I do like. So thank you Kimberley for inspiring me to make 2 Christmas cards!

I will enter both of these into Muse Christmas Visions and 52 Christmas Card Throwdown-green and red challenge.

I will enter the second into One Layer Christmas Card

Hello All

Today I have a one layer Christmas card for you that was inspired by the sketch this week at CAS(E) this sketch. I had an idea for this sketch and was looking for the dies I wanted to use but came across a Casual Fridays stamp I haven't used for a while and the sentiment just looked perfect for this sketch. See what you think:

All the star stamps are from different Uniko sets

I will also enter this into the challenge at One Layer Christmas Card

Here is the sketch:

Hi All

Yesterday I mentioned I needed to make a few more 'stamp and go' cards and I have one to share with you today.

My evening glow here is just half a circle stamp. The manager is a NBUS Winnie and Walter stamp. I love how this has turned out.

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Winnie and Walter-join in to win

Just Us Girls-black and white plus one other colour

One Layer Christmas Card Challenge-use circles

Darnell's NBUS challenge #4

52 Christmas Card Throwdown-Silent Night

Let it Snow!

Hi All,

I had hoped this year to make a few cards Christmas cards each month but so far I have made only one and this is my second. I am very behind my target but I do find it hard to get inspired when the big day seems so far away!

However this week I really liked the colour combo at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and wanted to play along. I also loved the 'splatter' challenge at Just Us Girls. I had the idea of combining splatters and snowflakes to create this card:

I made it one layer so I could join in the challenge at One Layer Christmas Cards-twist of circles-my splatters are circles-right?
I will also enter the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland-Blue Christmas

The snowflake stamps are from Uniko and the splatter stamps are from Paper Artsy

Xmas card 2 done!!

Have a good day x
