Bloggers Challenge 122 – No Layers!

October 23, 2009 By Connie | 19 Comments

 

No layers!  Oh my!  Sometimes the simplest looking cards are the hardest to make!  However, this one did come together pretty quickly!  I started with a different idea, but this is how it turned out.  I do like it!  I love Stampin' Up!'s Level 1 Hostess Set, Patterned Pines and used it here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started with Shimmer White Cardstock!  Every card looks elegant with Shimmer Paper.  I stamped the trio of Patterned Pines image with Gable Green Craft Ink and then embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder.  I added a Summer Sun Classic Ink star at the top of the center tree.  Merry Christmas from Christmas Greetings (a MUST have set!) is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and I did use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for placement.  Finally, I wrapped some Gold Stretch Cord around the card and tied with a bow (which would NOT stay flat for photographing!)  lol!

That's it!  I'm anxious to see what the other Bloggers Challenge players came up with for this challenge!  Have a great weekend.  Come back tomorrow for Stamping 411's sketch challenge!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    As always, great card! Could you do a flopper once in a while so we can perhaps get the image that everything you stamp isn’t actually golden!
