Blue and Green Christmas Tree

This week's Less is More challenge is to use 'Blue and Green'. 

I stamped the Woodware Holly Tree stamp onto green Raspberry Road paper and stamped the star, holly leaves and two pots onto blue Kate Knight paper (the papers were all magazine freebies).  I cut around the tree and one of the pots (cutting the sides straight to remove the bow) and attached them to a white pearlescent card blank. I attached the star, holly leaves and the bow (from the second pot) to thin white card and cut out the shapes before inking the edges with a black Promarker.   I then used silicone glue to attach them to the card.  I used dark and pale blue gems to decorate the tree.  To finish, I drew around the swirls with Diamond Stickles.

My Favourite Stamp

I made this card for a card swap with the theme 'My Favourite Stamp'.  The stamp I have used is Hobby Art's 'Floral Display'.  I have used this stamp for my Get Well Soon and Just wanted to say ... cards on this blog - and many more cards as well.  It's so quick and easy to get a pretty image.

I stamped the image onto white Centura pearl card and die cut it into a circle, this was then attached to a scalloped circle of lavender card.  I used lilac/dark lilac coloured pencils for the flowers, two shades of green for the leaves and gold for the flower centres.  I attached a square of lavender card to the card blank and then attached a square of Raspberry Road lilac stripe paper.  I used my Woodware Crafty Edger with the Antique Floral cassette to cut a length of green paper.  This was attached to the bottom of the card.  I attached the die cut circle to the top left of the card.  I then used Versafine Imperial Purple ink to stamp the greeting - the sentiment is from Hobby Art's General Greetings set.  To finish I attached two lilac rhinestones to the top right and two to the bottom left of the card.

Floral Inchies

I made some floral inchies for a swap - this was to make four inchies with the theme of 'flowers'.

I cut four one inch squares from a scrap of green card.  I then stamped a large flower onto pink rose paper from Raspberry Road Designs - the stamp is from Hobby Art's 'Anna's Collection - Special Wishes' set.  I cut around the edge of the flower and cut it into quarters - these were then attached to each of the green squares.  I then used a Sakura gold metallic gelly roll pen to make dots on the flower stamens.  I attached all four squares to a larger square of white card before sending my swap, so it's ready to be placed onto a card.
