Another Christmas Card for our Troops and a CSAYL Challenge 28 Colour Combos

This week's colour challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long provided lots of choices and gave me an opportunity to try another mini catalogue product ;)

I chose the colours blue, silver, white and red.  There are several different blues including Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party.  I've embossed the snow flakes using Bermuda Bay with clear embossing powder (work quick, it's a dye ink!) and Silver embossing powder on Versamark.  The greeting is Versamark with Pool Party embossing powder.

The stamps and Designer Series Paper are a sneak peek.....and how did I manage to cut out that snowflake so perfectly?  Come to the launch on 31 August to find out!

I love to read your comments, so show me some love!
Cheers

Christmas Stampin All Year Round Challenge 26 Inspiration

I stumbled on this challenge blog and thought how perfect it is to keep me on track year long for Christmas Cards for Australian Armed Forces!

The inspiration for this challenge was a photograph:

 I decided to stick with the red/white colour combo, so here's my card:

While there's a lot of stamping on it, it's still quite a clean looking card.  And I've used the Gorgeous Grunge set.....again....which means it's versatility is ever-increasing.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set:  Gorgeous Grunge, Snow Swirled (R), Easy Events (R)
Cardstock: Whisper White
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Staz On Black
Adorning Accents embossing folder and Big Shot
Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.
