Christmas Grunge - Take 2 - One Layer

And now it's Sunday! Hi there everyone. Have you enjoyed your weekend? More Christmas cards have been crossed off the list for me. 

It's become dark and stormy here right now. Nothing new - we've had at least 2 storms a day for nearly a week. We had hail yesterday morning around 6am which was a nice wake up call (not). It didn't last very long which was good. In some parts of QLD there have been photos of hail stones the size of tennis balls!!

I made a very quick and easy card today. One Layer stamping is fun and creates such a nice CAS feel.

Here is my card -



Yesterday I made a card using my Grunge set and I really liked it. So, today I used the same stamps and added another for interest.

I used my markers directly onto the pine cone stamp (from Special Season set) - Chocolate Chip and Garden Green were the colours. The Grunge stamp was inked with Chocolate Chip and the sentiment (from Greetings of the Season) with Real Red. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -


52CC Throwdown has a recipe for us. 

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes

and last but not least over at Stampin' Royalty I will enter my second card for their challenge to use no embellishments on your holiday cards.

I hope you have a lovely rest of your weekend.


Thanks so much for looking xx


PS - Here is a picture of the hail stones that were shown on last night's news.

    Oh Kylie, I've never seen hailstones that big before. I'm glad the storm wasn't so bad where you are. This is a beautiful one layer CAS card, great idea to use the grunge stamps and the pine cones are a nice touch. xx

    Such a beautiful one layer card, Kylie! I love how you blended 'grunge' with CAS...so clever! I love the festive color combo, too!

    I don't think I've ever seen hail stones that big...yikes, I wouldn't want to get hit in the head with one of them!

    I also wanted to thank you for letting me know about the error on my blog...I fixed/changed it to the correct name. I think I'm joining so many challenges, that I'm getting confused :-)
