Christmas Couple

Good evening to all my lovely friends and  followers This evening is the launch of a new Monthly Challenge over at All Dressed Up Stamps . Our theme as always is Anything Goes as long as you use an All Dressed Up Stamp in your design. If you have just discovered these stamps and don't have any there are some fab Freebies HERE to get you started.

The prize for the winner is three digital stamps of their choice and we also pick a top three one of whom is asked to be a Guest Designer the following month.

For my October Design Team card I used a lovely stamp called Christmas Couple There are also more fabulous creations from the rest of the Design Team to inspire you all over on the challenge blog.

  6. Absolutely wonderful Carole! Your painting with the Inktense pencils just gets better every card and I don't find them that easy to use. Lots for me to love here :D, the gorgeous star trim, lovely berry and pine cone arrangements (especially love those silver pine cones) and the present die cuts. Another gorgeous Christmas card for your growing pile. Debra x

  7. A super Christmas card Carole, the pretty colour palett sand image gives a modern feel to it yet retaining the traditional elements as well.
