Christmas Tree and a Seahorse

 

A mid month reminder about our challenges at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping. These are my DT cards for each of the challenges.

First of all Our theme at Stamping Sensations is Anything Goes as long as it has stamping on it. We have the optional twist of Christmas in July which is the theme I have followed. I've used a Crafty Individuals stamped onto patterned paper and embossed. It's such a detailed stamp that I didn't think it needed much else.

I then did another version which is slight different as I cut away the paper allowing more of the embossing folder to show.

My second card is for the optional theme chosen by Faith at We Love Stamping which is Sun, Sea and Sand, or you can use anything goes.

I took a seahorse stamp that came with a magazine and stamped and embossed onto some vellum that I had stencilled over with blue DI. I mounted onto the card and the edge that overlapped I cut off and put in the bottom corner. Then I added some Memory box fish and a turtle die cuts. 

As always we have fabulous prizes on both challenges. I do hope you can join us.
