Irene's Challenge...

My great friend and cuttlebug fanatic,Irene, very kindly sent me a couple of embossed scenes from her new cuttlebug folder - one that I haven't got - YET!

I wanted to use them straight away as I already had an idea in my head that I wanted to try out. There were a couple of stamps in the Hampton Arts grab bag I bought recently that I thought would work very well with this scenic folder so last night I gave them a try.

This card for some reason looks far better in real life (honest) but hopefully you will like it.

Materials used:

• Red stardream card
• white card
• gold mirri card for matting and layering
• cuttlebug folder - village scene
• Santa stamp - Hampton Arts
• gold sentiment peel off
• white organza ribbon
• sakura pens and fine art glitter

As the challenge starting today at http://wednesdaystamper.wordpress.com/ is an open theme this card fits in perfectly and I may be entering some more Christmas cards into that as 'that time of year' is closing in on us rapidly.

After buying the grab bag that I didn't really need I decided that I would set my own personal challenge (yes I am quite crazy!) to use all 100 stamps!!! Well the nice ones anyway - so this is Stamp number 2 used and number 3 is going in the bin because I really can't think of a use for a blotchy shoe stamp!!

Watch this space for Stamp number 4!!
