New Design Team


 Good morning, this is a scheduled post as all being well I'm on my way to Amsterdam and the start of our river cruise. We booked this same holiday 2 years ago and it was cancelled the day before we were due to go so hoping for better luck this time! We have a lovely family friend who adores Marvin staying with him so he can be at home- no kennels for him!

Anyway back to the reason for the post- this is my first DT card for We Love Stamping, I was honoured to be invited to join this fabulous team.

 The theme for this month is Sports/ Hobbies or Anything Goes. 

                                                     

There are 2 prizes of Visible Image Stamps

I went with the hobbies option, always intended to take up photography when I retired...but didn't,  and created a circular card using dies from A&C. The main panel is cut from water colour paper, I used the Always & Forever stencil to mask off the centre and a sunburst stencil and Distress Oxides to stencil around it. The camera stamp and sentiment are also from Visible Image but no longer available on their website. 

 Check out the We Love Stamping Challenge Blog for full details of how to enter the challenge and to see the lovely creations from the rest of the ladies

Thanks for visiting

Chris

  10. Beautiful card, Chris. I love the design with the decorative circle shape.
    Hope you have a wonderful trip. We've done two European river cruises, one on the Danube and one on the Rhine. We had an amazing time on each.

    Lucky Marvin he can stay at home with a friend.
