Lazy, rainy Saturday

Will it ever stop raining?? Well, it has set in again. I can't wait for our wet season, NOT!
I really shouldn't complain. It's the middle of winter here and I am walking around in shorts and t-shirt. Also, my new rose bush that was planted a few weeks ago already has three buds on it! Whoop!!

I was having a look around and saw 3, yes 3, challenges that I wanted to enter. The best thing was that I love all of them and couldn't wait to start.

I have entered these awesome challenges -

52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - July Colour Challenge
Simply Stampin - Sketch Challenge
Christmas Stamping All Year Long - Challenge #19 No Inky Yet


The colours I need to use were White/Black/Blue. I have used Whisper White cardstock with a panel of Basic Black and Ocean blue grosgrain ribbon for the outer panels. I have stamped the Merry Christmas stamp from my new Delightful Decorations Stamp set to create a background (first time to be inked) with Whisper White ink.
I have then layered the white and black cardstock, inking the edges of the first layer with Marina Mist. I have embossed the last panel and then added another stamp from my new set and used my new co-ordinating punch. I have used Dazzling Diamonds glitter to highlight the bauble. A little white and silver ribbon to finish off.


Here is my card -




Here is the sketch I used from Simply Stampin'


Thanks for looking xx
I will now go and check my feet for webbing ;)

    Kylie I love your use of ribbon and embossing on this card! That ornament set is one that I loved but haven't used in a very long time - might have to pull it out again. Thanks for joining us this week at 52CCT! I think you were the first one last week too :o) so delighted you are playing with us.

    You can send some rain my way if you don't want it all. :) We are very dry here in the North East of the U.S. This is a beautiful card! I really like that embossing folder (?) you used; it's stunning.

      Hi Heather,the folder is called "snowflakes" but I cant remember the brand. I bought it off ebay so I will dig around and have a look for you.
