This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Ya Gotta Have Christmas in July!", so let's see those winter holiday makes!
This is what I did....
I was doing some tidying and came across this image (from Tim Holtz) already stamped on textured cardstock, from back in the day when I did all my colouring on it, and I thought I'd give that a whirl again. I think it works well with this stamp. Used up some scraps for the background - go me! lol
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

I love the sketchy tree & ornaments! Awesome card! Thank you for sharing with us @ 613 Avenue Create.
ReplyDeleteYes, go you! Love the way this turned out and all the pieces were just waiting there for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas card, Jan! The lines on this stamp coordinate so well with your paper choice; could not be any more perfect. And yep, I agree, your textured cardstock gives a very nice texture to your tree.
ReplyDeleteGreat image and fabulous christmas card, Jan.

Hi Jan
ReplyDeleteA great finished card and everything tones with your gorgeous background papers perfectly.
I was lucky enough to pick a bundle of Christmas themed stamps up at the Charity Shop we support. A box containing loads of random Christmas stamps from lots of different artists.
I purchased the box, took out what I knew I would use. I then topped up the box with some crafty bits I was parting with and donated the box back to the charity shop again.
You have inspired me to bring the box out and get using the stamps I kept!
Hope all is good with you.
Love and hugs
