This is one of the new stamps from Crafty Individuals and as soon as it arrived I couldn't wait to play with it. Jean has put it up on the CI blog along with some amazing pieces from her and others from the team.
There are a whole set of new stamps and other products just out and if you enter our Festive Sparkle challenge you can get a whopping 25% discount on everything in the on-line shop. That's a Christmas present in itself isn't it?

So onto my card. A distress ink background, flicked with water and edged with a CI flourish stamp and then snowflakes, (another CI plate), stamped over the top.
The image was coloured with prismacolors. The greeting was computer generated and stickles added to give some sparkle.
This is simple and totally flat and perfect for posting for Christmas - guess I need to make more of these then lol.
I am going to see my grandaughter today, I haven't seen her for a week but the news is she is making good progress (again!!!), lets hope this will be sustained progress this time, I just pray there are no more relapses. Apparently she got out of bed yesterday, got dressed and felt good enough to put some make-up on, now that sounds so good to me. I am taking a whole batch of cards that have arrived for her in the past week, so I will be back soon with my thank you's. I so appreciate all the support and love you have been sending our way.
Take care, be creative and have a happy Friday.

Hello Brenda
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update re your GD. I am so pleased she is improving; let us hope it is ongoing now and she can celebrate Christmas.
I am sure she will be impressed with all the cards?
I love Turquoise,it is one of my favourite colours so you drew me in as soon as I saw this palette.
The way you have made your Bg is beautiful, a very unique Christmas card and so lovely.
Smiles:)

A lovely card Brenda! So glad there's cheering news about your granddaughter. Bless her heart. Thinking of you! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about your Becca. If she wants to grab her makeup it's always a good sign! Willing her to fully recover this time and start borrowing her Mum's makeup!
ReplyDeleteAnother stunner here. I love the background and those stamps are gorgeous. I really like the fact that it's flat too! Shocking prices of stamps means all my cards will be flat this year if they're not hand delivered.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Simply gorgeous, Brenda! I love your subtle pastel blue background, with its lovely snowflakes, and I love what you've done with colouring the new stamp - really zingy!

First off Brenda, I'm so happy to hear your GD is well enough to put on makeup. That's a very good sign.
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas card. Its hard coming up with ones that are flat. postage here is going through the roof so I need to cut down on the embellishments.
