More lovely entries!

Hello stampers!

For those of you over in the USA - I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, and you are now getting some awesome bargains at the Black Friday Sales! Aussies - most of the US online stores are having sales too, so check out your fave sites and grab a great deal just in time for Christmas!

This weekend is the last weekend you'll have to get your challenge entry done before deadline! So be sure to set aside some time over the next few days to get inky. :)

Now onto the new entries!

First we have this card that was sent in by Karen Daley of Canada:

Karen says:

"The focal image (Winter Church by Paper Inspirations) was stamped on smooth vanilla cardstock using Versafine sepia ink, then covered with double-tack film, and a coating of Glitter Ritz (warm highlight colour). This was matted on chocolate brown, and layered over a blue panel, stamped with brocade (Cornish Heritage Farms), with some blue velvet paper on the bottom". 

"A ruffled ribbon and slide (stamped with Cornish Heritage Farms greeting) went at the bottom, and these were attached to the card base, which had been stamped with snowflakes (Stampin' Up!) in Seascape (Palette ink) and sponged with distress ink. The final touches were some rhinestone stars and glittery felt snowflakes".

Lovely work Karen!

Next we have this card that was sent in by Sue Davies of the UK:

Sue's Christmas Angel stamp is by Lost Coast designs, and she has used lots of lovely vellum and glitter to acheive her shabby chic look.

Nice work Sue!

Lastly we have this card that was sent in by Lyn Smith:

Lyn says:

"I started by inking up a Hero Arts distressed background stamp, firstly with light pink Hero Arts Shadow Ink, then swiping a darker shade of pink around the edges. I spritzed the stamp with a little water, then stamped it onto white cardstock. Once it was dry I stamped the Inkadinkado holly stamp onto it using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink, then stamped the Firecracker Designs greeting in the bottom left corner. I trimmed around the shadow background and then distressed the edges and layered it onto some green Bazzil cardstock with distressed edges". 

"The pink background piece is Cor'dinations cardstock which I've dry embossed with Cuttlebug Victorian embossing folder and sanded the raised parts. I also distressed the edges of both background cardstocks. Other supplies are Kaisercraft rhinestones, Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon, white lace from my stash and a couple of staples".

Gorgeous work Lyn!

Well that's it for today! I hope you all enjoy your weekend! Keep those entries coming!
