Welcome
It’s time for the next Challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday. This week it’s Gail’s “All About Holidays” Challenge. As Christmas is so close, I’m sure we’ll see lots of wonderful entries!
My card this week is another Christmas card to add to the growing stack.
It features a wood mount stamp from Hampton Art that I picked up a few years ago. I love the idea of doves / birds on a Christmas card. The image was gold heat embossed on a panel cut using MFT Die-namics Wonky Stitch Square STAX. It was watercoloured using Delicata Golden Glitz ink and Wink of Stella gold. This gives it a wonderful glitter and shine that is just too hard to photograph! 😦
The panel was added to a square featuring Craft Concepts – Christmas Vine EF, a gold square and then to the card front.
The sentiment is another favourite oldie from Print Blocks.
Thanks so much for visiting.
I hope you will visit our blog for some more great inspiration. I look forward to checking out the entries.
Cheers
Helen

How gorgeous! I had to drop by, Helen, to say how beautifully you used this image. I happened to submit to the Mod Squad Challenge where I saw your lovely card. By an interesting coincidence, I have submitted with the same stamp image! Like yours, gold embossed, but with different color scheme. Thanks for the inspiration – your card is lovely! hugs, de

Hi Donna! How amazing that we both ended up side by side using the same stamp!!!! I love your cards – so soft and pretty! Like you, I haven’t used colouring on vellum for a while. Thanks so much for your very kind comments on my card. I really appreciate it and you getting in touch. I loved this stamp when I first saw it at a craft show years ago, and obviously you did too! Good luck with your entries. Have a wonderful Christmas and a great 2019! Maybe our paths will cross again some day! 🙂 Hugs Helen
