WWC201 – Marsha’s Special Two-Week Year End Anything Goes

 

Update: I was lucky enough to be selected for an Honourable Mention from The Flower Challenge – December. Thanks so much!

Hello Friends

Welcome to our last challenge for 2018, over at Watercooler Wednesday! As we are all busy with Christmas and New Year,  Marsha’s Special Challenge is Two-Week Year End Anything Goes!

This week, I decided to play with a CAS one layer card after all the layers in last week’s card!

I started by stamping an old favourite – Papertrey Ink Year of Flowers Poinsettias in the middle of a piece of card, cut to the size of my card front. After some measuring to ensure the tags were evenly spaced, I cut 3 tags using a Nesting Tag die from a local craft store.

I then removed the stamped tags and watercoloured them using Distress Inks.

For a little relief and interest, I used the 3 dot clusters from Papertrey Ink  Harvest Berries set instead of leaves, and the large dot where the tie for a tag would go.

The front panel was attached to the card front and the tags replaced to finish the image. I used a  Verve Stamps – Glad Tidings sentiment in green at the bottom.

I was really pleased with the way this one turned out.  I hope you like it too.  So simple and easy!

We would love to see what you create over the next couple of weeks!  Please check out our blog for more inspiration.

Wishing you a very safe and happy Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2019!

Thanks so much for visiting and your support over the last year.  I really appreciate you taking the time to  comment.

Cheers
