Last Minute Christmas Challenge
Good morning everyone. Here I am again with my second card as my stint as guest designer for Allsorts. This time the theme is Last Minute Christmas so for this I chose to go with a favourite Penny Black stamp of mine called Christmas Park. Because this is a Brushstroke stamp it is really quick to do as you just colour the stamp with waterbased markers, stamp it out and hey presto you've got a lovely coloured image already for you to mount up!
For the rest of the card I simply tore a piece of Magnolia paper (one of last years designs) and stuck it to a white landscape card and added some scraps of co-ordinating card along with tiny punched out snowflakes. The wording is also a Penny Black stamp but I omitted the word 'Merry' and just inked up 'Christmas'. Then of course with it being a Christmas card I added lots of stickles glitter glue!
Here's a closer look at those trees for you.
As you can see I inked them up with blue and purple coloured water-based pens (Tombows) to give a frosty/icy feel to them.

Hi Kay,
Gorgeous card. Love the subtle colour combo. And the bling really adds that christmassy feel to the image.
Hugs, Pauline x
Hi Kay. How are your Christmas preparations going. Well I hope!!
I love this card. Those brushstoke stamps are gorgeous, they always look great even though, like you say, they are simple to use and to create a good effect with. The blues are beautiful.
Hope you have had a good weekend.
hugs Lisax

Love tree stamps and love what you've made with it. I have that stamp and haven't used it for ages, will have to get it out and dust it off now. xxx
