Hello there fellow Bloggers
Now how on earth did we get to August Rudolph Day so quickly??
Only three more until the Big One!!!! Aaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! Better get a jimmy on!!! Not enough cards made yet.
So here are this month's offerings....
I got out my Artistic Stamper stamps and stamped a background with the pinecone using with Potting Soil Archival ink then smooshing the background with Gathered Twigs DI. I then took more white cardstock and stamped the cottage image and the sentiment with the same Archival Ink and smooshed the outer edge with DI.
Then I went on a good rummage in my plain Snippets Box to layer the stamped pieces. Don't look too close as there are actually two shades of green, but I added a little Forest Moss DI to try and even them out!! The background piece is a VOS piece of K&Co. Final flourish is a little wooden snowflake.
Off to link this with my Buddy Mo's Rudolph Day and also my buddies at the Snippets Playground. Have fun and don't forget to let me know you have been!!

A gorgeous wintry scene, great design. Carol x
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! I really liked the second photo...so glad you included that shot as it really shows off the pretty purple background paper.
ReplyDeleteYour inventive use of the pinecone made for another great background as well.
Sorry I have been a bit absent from visiting. Will have a long catchup soon! Thanks for taking part in my August Rudolph DAys Challenge.
A lovely image, beautifully mounted. I like the sepia tones for the stamped image and background. Kate x
ReplyDeleteWow Hettie, I love this beautiful vintage style card. The image is lovely and so is the pine cone layer you made.

Great card Sam - gosh it's such a perfect card for Christmas. Wonderful colours you've used there. Clever sausage!
ReplyDeleteHa! I think blogger IS mucking around, I published my LIM card at midnight and it's just popped up again on my dashboard - mid afternoon. Yes, I follow myself (anonymously) to look for just times like these!

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeletethis is a gorgeous card.
I love everything you have done with this gem of creation.
Wonderful stamped images, and great colour combos too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Well it hasn't altered much since last night, but just noticed the fact that you smooshed the edges with DI, not sure that Miss would have been too keen on being smooched, you'll probably get stood in the naughty corner for that one.

Gorgeous scene Hettie, love the pine cone background, inkspired! Xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card there, Sam, I really love all the details ..
ReplyDeleteWish we could see it as well as in real life as it hard to capure it sometimes.
And shock, horror I have actually joined over to Mo's,, had made two cards but the realised after linking (when thought should read the rules) you are only allowed one entry. Talk about dumb.. Out of practise. Asked Mo to delete one entry.

Very pretty Hettie. Love this cozy but cold cabin scene. Your color choices were spot on to create such a vintage feel to this delightful image. Love the darks of the matting colors and that wonderful pinecone background. I had not thought of the 3 month countdown! TFS & Hugs. Happy wkend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being one of Di's picks with your beautiful card. Barbxx
