The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #48 - Green Christmas


It time for a new challenge at Christmas Kickstart and I'm thrilled to be joined by The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers (and our beloved mascot, Edna) to supply the inspiration for this month!


I'm so grateful to my fabulous sistahs for getting green and festive, so please come and take a look at their beautiful cards.

Here's what I made for the challenge.


I just couldn't resist inking-up some Ink Road fun (Happy Holla Days) for this one - Santa looks good in green, right?

For my second card I used the same Pine Tree Forest MFT stencil and created an inky background and then stencilled with a mixture of acrylic paint and embossing paste. 


The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and looks gorgeous IRL, but proved impossible to photograph! The green and silver just looks so good together.

For his Random Raffle prize this month Rudolph has bagged a cheeky little sentiment stamp from Crafter's Companion.


Hope you'll come on over and play along!

Gosh, how different does that stencil look in the two cards?! Both fab Jo, love Santa’s attitude on the first one and I can see the problem with the silver surface on the second - your photo is good enough to imagine the effect though, lovely!
