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.

I love to read your comments, so please leave one below.
Cheers

Mojo Monday 285

Here's this weeks Mojo Monday sketch. 

 

I can't believe I actually made my card on the day the challenge appeared in my inbox!  That's a first.

Anyway, in honour of the last couple days of Sale-a-Bration for 2013 I figured I'd better use some Sycamore Street DSP & Island Indigo Ribbon from the ribbon/button pack.

I had intended to use the Vintage Verses stamp set, also from SAB but then the little birdie caught my eye from Easy Events (annual catty) and I couldn't say no to him!

Send me an email or give me a call if you have last minute SAB needs!
Cheers
Karen
