Stamps - Hero Arts Decorative Poinsettia Frame Stamp & Cut & a retired sentiment

I layered several black frames and inlaid with the stamped white panel. Left it very plain; too plain maybe? I decided to leave the poinsettia frame in outline except for some red berries. While we didn't have to make cards for two different occasions this month, I thought I might as well get a head start on my holiday thank-you cards.

Why, you ask, did I put the red dots on this one? To cover up a couple ink spots I didn't like. Tried to hide with white gel pen but it wasn't working for me - oh well.... Anyway, my twist was to rotate the label and I thought it was in perfect proportion to this Lawn Fawn 4-bar size card. Nice & simple!! One more Christmas card for the stash which is nearly there! I'm up over 75 cards - yay!
That's it for today, friends - thanks for stopping!! And thanks to Darnell and her team for another fun challenge!!
love that new HA stamp and cut and how you designed with it - didn't even notice your red dots until you said something - two fab cards, Linda
ReplyDeleteLinda, What a fun and festive label stamp and die. Your thank you is fabulously CAS and I love that you only colored the berries. Your Christmas card is such fun with the rotation of the image and those added camouflage dots. I think they add fun. Thanks for joining in at Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use that little label stamp, Linda! 2 lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteboth cards are absolutely beautiful, linda!
ReplyDeleteI love a stamp that is an image and a place to put a sediment all in one and this holiday diamond shape is divine, Linda! I love it just like it is matted in black and red with the red sediment and red berries for your thank you card! And it's beautiful as a holiday card image on that pretty green woodgrain card base! And now here I was thinking you added those dots intentionally as a design feature! We would have believed that, you know, because they look great! Thank you very much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #22! Happy Holidays! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Linda. Beautifully done. Love your save on your second one. The red dots look perfect on the card.
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous, Linda ... that first clean, crisp card is so striking and stylish in the black, red, white colour palette ... love that you just coloured the berries around the frame! Your second design is delicious in those festive shades of red and green ... those tiny dots are a great addition ... and a brilliant idea for covering a boo-boo or two! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic uses of that stamp set! Both designs are similar and yet distinctive!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards, Linda! Your first card is so clean and elegant with just the berries colored, and I love the black "wood" frame! Such a versatile stamp that can be turned both ways, and I love it on the LF note card! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty tag, Linda! I love how you've left it mostly black and white with the berries colored on the first card and it's just as striking with the poinsettias and greenery colored!
