LIM Challenge

Hi All
Hope you are all having a good day.
I have spent most of the day sewing which I haven't attempted for years. I had a project on my list since before last Christmas which I have just got round to and I am really pleased with it. I will take some photos and show you tomorrow.
Back to the reason for my post which is my entry for this weeks LIM challenge (http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk). Their challenge this week is a colour combo , to use two complimentary colours. I have decided to use Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive . I know that it is much too early to start making Christmas cards but those two colours do lend themselves for a Christmas design.
To make this card you will need the following materials :
Card stock : Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler
Inks : Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
Stampsets : Ornament Keepsakes, Greetings of the Season
Piercing Pack : Occasions

Until next time

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
