One Layer Christmas Card Challenge #4

Greetings everyone!  It time again for another fun challenge over at One Layer Christmas Card Challenge.  I hope everyone still has their Christmas stamps out and is ready to play!



Yes, it's still Anything Goes but this time the twist is Bells.  Now I know you want to get a head start on those Christmas cards and what's easier to mail than a one layer?  So, come on over and play with us!  If you use the twist you'll be entered in for the monthly prize draw of a fabulous stencil by ARTplorations!  Now my card is definitely not what you'd call traditional when it comes to colours.  Far from it but I just love the colours and I've always been partial to non-traditional colours when it comes to Christmas cards.  Take a look...


So, I masked off a small strip along the edge of my card base and stamped my bells (STAMPlorations) in Hero Arts neon inks.  Then once the mask was removed I trimmed a piece of washi tape (Scotch Expressions) and adhered it to the card.  Then I carefully inked up my sentiment stamp (Michaels), the flourish with the neon inks and the words with black.  I find these colours so fun and I'm thinking I'll be using them again for more Christmas cards.

You need to come on over to OLCCC and check out the other DT girls cards too.  They are all awesome!  Hope you will all be able to play along with us.

I'd like to link up to the following challenges:

Jingle Belles - Here We Go A Washi-ing, use washi tape.
Addicted to CAS - code word is Mask
ABC Christmas Challenge - C is for Colorful

Well, I hope you are starting to see Spring wherever you are.  We are still digging out from the last blizzard we had on Sunday.  No more winter!  Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

  14. Congrats on the shout-out from the lovely Jingle Belles. I can see why they fell in love with your card, because it's simply stunning. Love the colourful yet perfectly CAS design, and that strip of washi tape pulls it all together. Thanks also for drawing my attention to the one-layer Christmas challenge. Will have to check it out.
