Photo inspiration this week!

 

This is my card:

 

I've had these Purple Onion Designs Stamps for ages and this was the perfect inpiration to use some of them!

I colored them with Copics and decorated the base card with a paper from Doodlebug. So cheerful!

Christmas Card Challenges # 49 - No Embellishments.

* * This is my second post today, please scroll down to see my 2 Cute Ink Facebook Challenge post * *

 

It's Sunday and this means a new Christmas Card Challenge!

This week the theme may be super-easy or a bit difficult, it depends on the amount of embellishments you use on your cards.

 

For me, it's pretty difficult to avoid embellishments, I love to add rhinestones, pearls and ribbons, but today I've made an exception!

 

Here's my card:

 

 

I'm SO happy with it!

First of all because I've finally had the chance to use one of the stamps I bought last year from Purple Onion Designs. It's Snowy Trio and these snowmen look oh! so cute!

That's the second reason for I'm happy with my card: they are tooooo cute, I'd like to squeeze them!

 

It's been nice to make a clean and simple card for a change and I think that this big stamp is particularly suitable for this type of cards.

A Birthday Challenge.

The other day I was reading Purple Onion Designs blog and I found out that they are having a challenge.

The theme is "Birthday" and I decided to make a card.

I treated myself with a few of their stamps back in January but the biggest ones were all Christmas-themed.

I added two tiny stamps to my order and I wanted to make my card with them

Think, think, think... and I made this:

The stamps are "Sign" and "Star & Sky" from the Stacey Yacula Studio Collection available at Purple Onion Designs. I colored them with my Copics and mounted them on a long card made with an old ivory card front from Lasting Impressions.

I loved the idea that, starting from tiny stamps, I was able to make a big card!
