We are on the letter “Q” over at the Alphabet Challenge. That is kind of a tricky letter to come up with a good theme for, but this time Meg chose “quadruple” or four of something as the challenge. Please visit the blog and check out the rest of the design teams creations!
I started out with a CAS idea because I had just been using the ornament stamp, and thought it would be a good thing to use four of. I saw the color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches (#446) so I was inspired by that, and I also saw the challenge at Addicted to CAS (#210) which has a code word of “Circle.”
My card uses the ornament stamp from a Stampin’ Up! set called “Ornamental Pine.” I couldn’t quite fit them on a regular A2 sized card so I went with a mini-slimline. I own one set of mini-slimline dies so that’s what I used! I added the silver with the twine and tiny bows, I added the “merry” sentiment in silver to finish it off.
Additional Challenges:
Die Cut Divas – mini-slimline card
Fusion – triangle Christmas bulbs – a mix of the sketch and the hanging bulbs!
Oh that’s so pretty Melanie! Fab details on those baubles and they look so great in the pink & green. Deborah x
Absolutely gorgeous, Melanie! I really love that ornament stamp!! There’s something about using nontraditional colors for a holiday card that really appeals to me. Love it! Have a wonderful weekend!
