Christmas Roses , a Poppy and a Hare!

 

A bumper post from me today, as I have the mid month reminder for Stamping Sensations challenge and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge and my DT card for our latest Allsorts challenge.

My first card for We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge and the theme of Anything Goes with an option of  Celebrations uses Hark the Christmas Rose. I blended DI blueprint onto the card around the image, leaving the roses white with no colouring. I then used DI inks in shades of green with water for the leaves.

My second card for Stamping Sensations challenge and the theme of  Stamp of the Moment. Well it is a Poppy so it is a fave stamp of mine all year round really. It's from Penny Black but not had an outing recently. I used DIs watered down to colour. For the background I used a resist embossing just the head of the poppy and then using shades of green to colour. I used a TL die to mount and a Phill Martin corner sentiment stamp.

Last but not least my card for this weeks Allsorts challenge hosted by Brenda who has chosen the theme of  - Any "real" animal or creature. I used my small circular gelli plate to create the background by applying DI inks to the plate and spraying with water. I used Crafty Individuals stamps to create the scene and watered down DIs to colour. Finally a  Lisa Horton Wordage strip sentiment to finish. Stamp Addicts are our sponsor with a £15 store voucher for the winner.

Hope you made it to the end of this mammoth post lol!
