Christmas is coming!



I'm here today with the new themes for November at the monthly challenges I am on the DT for at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations and they both have a Christmas theme.

At Stamping Sensations the theme is Christmas Celebrations. For my DT card I have used a bauble stencil from Sweet Poppy. It is preloved and so I am a little behind with the trend for using it. I used DIs for the stencilling and then stamped inside the bauble with various stamps. I used a CC embossing folder for the background.

At Stamping Sensations our prize this month are these two stamp sets kindly donated by a regular entrant - thank you. 




At We Love Stamping our theme is simply ****Christmas****. For my DT card I used an older Woodware robin stamp that I tracked down after seeing one of my teamies use it as I do love a robin. I stamped onto a background I had created by dragging inks, and then coloured in the image. Matted and layered onto various cardstock.


At We Love Stamping we will have two winners for The complete At Home with Santa range.

Not behind at all using that bauble Lynn, think it's one that will come out time and again, you have used it beautifully here and the background on your second so effective.

Great cards today Lynn. I always admire those scenes within a scene cards and yours is pretty special. I have never made one myself, but love the look. Love the embossed background too. Your stylised robins are really cute too xx

2 gorgeous cards Lynn - that bauble stencil is a classic, I have been meaning to buy it this year and somehow haven't got round to it .. but there is still time yet!! Lucky you if you managed to find it pre-loved. Your soft stencilling with it looks really fab. I also love your inking technique with that very cute robin stamp - lovely!

The Woodware stamp is very cute and love the unique look it has on the dragged ink background, wow! Beautiful match with the Dp layer!
