24 weeks of Christmas cards #17- Sassy JJ Cheers

Rainbow trees

The new Less is More Challenge is: One Layer and Winter Flora.

I had to dig through my stash to find this row of Christmas trees, pretty much all my stamps are Fauna, cute critters, maybe squirrels in a tree, but yeah...this is a Lawn Fawn Stamp from the Simply Celebrate Christmas borders, so is the sentiment.

I stamped it on the cardbase with My Favorite Things Extreme Black ink and colored it with Triblend markers. They will seep through to the other side...but it's ONE layer fortnight, so might cover it up with a sheet of card later, frankly I don't mind it that much.

Coloring CC Design Broomride with Nuvo alcohol markers

AAA Cards Challenge #152 Maxi whitespace + geometric

This fortnight our sponsor is Uniko and I used the Simply Said block Christmas for the sentiment.
If you join our challenge, you could win an in stock stampset.

For my card Iused the circle with star from Simon Says Stamp  Presents and ornaments.
I thought the circle would be  for my geometric bit,not sure if a star is considered a geometric shape too,but it reminded me of baubles or ornaments and I stamped a rainbow of  them with Memento inks.

For the "Maxi white space" challenge, I only stamped one row.

Then I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink and heat set it to be sure.

Sorry Life is Nuts

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Autumn colors.

For my card I used a panel of Neenah Desert Storm and masked off an area to inkblend Distress Oxides: Carved pumpkin, Mustard Seed and Candied apple, Autumn colors I would say.

For my images and sentiment I've used "oh nuts!"from Miss ink Stamps, sadly I have no Honey Bee stamps.

I stamped the image with Extreme black ink and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers then cut them out and mounted them with foamtape.

The white gelpen was an afterthought so I put

the squirrels on the panel first and then traced the white gelpen around them...For the sentiment I've used Memento rich cocoa so it would match with the Desert Storm cardstock.
