Noel Tidings in Poppy Parade

Noel Tidings Bundle + Pretty Poinsettia Impression Dies

Last Friday's monochromatic challenge color was Poppy Parade and it did not disappoint!! I used a blending brush with Poppy Parade ink on white cardstock to create the lovely shades within the poinsettia.

Noel Tidings Bundle + Pretty Poinsettia Impression Dies

I cut two wreaths, one out of Basic White cardstock and the other out of vellum. This allowed for a slightly fuller wreath, without hiding that Poppy Parade card front.

I really wanted plump berries on the wreath, so I added clear gems to the berry die cuts. Didn't it turn out great?!

Then I carried the berries through to the inner card by just stamping them.

This card has a lot going on.... blending brush on the card front arch prior to embossing, detail die cut snowflakes, a spinning snowflake and those beautiful iridescent sequins!

Elegant Leaves in Cajun Craze

Elegant Leaves Bundle

A few weeks back, Cajun Craze was the monochromatic challenge.... and it happened just a couple of days after I was home from my knee replacement....so my card had to be as absolutely simple as possible. Of course I look at it now and can see a few things that I wish I had done differently, but that is the beauty of a hand crafted card.... I can always make another one :)

Elegant Leaves Bundle

To create this card I used one stamp to create a tonal card front design. I used Cajun Craze ink on the light side of the Cajun Craze Two Tone cardstock. Basic Beige is a perfect neutral color to allow the rich beauty of Cajun Craze to shine through. I am in love with the leaves in the corners of the inner message liner.
