Fashion and Christmas

  

I'm back today with a little mid month reminder of our challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations.

At Stamping Sensations I chose the theme of feminine this month or of course anything goes if you prefer. I've used a SU stamp set called Beautiful You, that I have had for years and it's never seen ink! Apart from the colour swirl, which I used on my a dress on my card last month. This is the dress it is made to fit. I used some even older SU papers and cut out with a Pocket Full of Happiness die set.

My second card is for challenge at We Love Stamping. The theme is Four legged friends or of course we have also the anything goes option.

I've used this adorable stamp from Purple Onion which I saw being used by a couple of bloggers and just had to have. I used a background from an old TL mag and then fussy cut the image and mounted with foam. Coloured with promarkers. The sentiment is hot foiled and cut around with a TL die which I adapted to take in the curve of the "C". Finishing touch of some sparkles which haven't shown up too well but irl it looks so twinkly.

Both cards are just gorgeous Lynn. I love what you did with your lady stamp. Those flowers are so pretty with the striped paper. You have my total admiration making a Christmas card!! I wish I could do that throughout the year but my head just won't let me!! Your little dog is adorable and wow to that background! It works so perfectly for a wintery feel.
