Sweet Stampin' Challenges...got the blues


Happy Saturday! This week over at Sweet Stampin' Challenges our theme is 'got the blues'.
I made a Christmas card using a fabulous stamp from Inkylicious, it's a kind of negative stamp as it stamps the background and leaves the image white. I stamped it using distress inks, I love the 'snowy feel' this gives. Simple design too ( so nice and quick!. Just added a bow (recycled ribbon from some packaging) and a die cut sentiment.
I made some more cards too, using the same stamp....


Thanks for taking the time to visit today, much appreciated at this busy time of year!  I hope you can spare a few minutes to hop over here and see what the Sweeties have been up to this week. It would be lovely to see what you make for this theme too...there's a fabulous prize on offer from Live and Love Crafts, don't miss out on their closing down sale!
Have a great weekend
Chris

    Fabulous stamp - I think its brilliant how the "negative" impression gives a snowy look! I love the glittery areas on the white card - so wintery :) Thanks for playing along with us at MAWTT, Emma (DT)

    Lots of fabulous trees Chris and love the quite simple matting and layering with the emphasis kept on the trees with nice plain colour backgrounds. Thank you for joining in with the November Rudolph Days Challenge. x

    GORgeous card Chris..I forget just how much stamped images always seem so pretty.
    Must admit I've bought a few since I went to Birmingham. Perhaps they will come out in the new year.

    Something about blue for the holidays really creates a frosty inviting feel. The white trees against the dark panel is very effective and I adore that embossing pattern, looks like snow flurries in the wind! Another stunning holiday card Chris!! hugs :)

    That is one cool stamp. I like how it stamps the reverse image.
    Your ribbon is perfect here!
