Morning everyone, our last challenge of the year at Allsorts and Sarah is asking us to use our dies. Prize are three coordinating die and stamp sets from Oakwood. This challenge will be the first following our new fortnightly system, the next will be Saturday 4th January.
This card uses Lavinia stamps and stencil and Highlight Crafts dies for the matting and layering frames. After adding ink inside Sticker Stencil 8 I built up the vase of flowers using Holly, Woodland Fern, Winter Berries, Fir Cone, Seed Head and Moss Flower which were stamped several times to decoupage. Words are from Seasonal Words, I love the font of this set.
Another with more dies from TRR, the red frame is I believe from Carnations Crafts along with backing DP from MCS.
I wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and send my sincere thanks for all your support and kind words of encouragement throughout the year, it's been a touch one for me so means a lot.
Such beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.

Brenda, your Seasons flower vase card is absolutely beautiful! The combination of Lavinia stamps and Highlight Crafts dies creates such a stunning effect. I love how you've built up the vase of flowers with Holly, Woodland Fern, Winter Berries, Fir Cone, Seed Head, and Moss Flower. The decoupage technique adds so much depth and dimension. The red frame and the Seasonal Words sentiment are perfect finishing touches. Thank you for sharing your creativity and inspiring us with your gorgeous card. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
