CI#90 Only 4 weeks till Christmas

Hello again, hard to believe it's the 25th of November already- Christmas is certainly approaching fast.

But even though it's soon, I am not sharing a Christmas card today, but I am inspired by the beautiful colours in this week's inspiration pic. I had to have a little play with a new stampset coming in January.

The colours for this week are Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock- a delightful combination. 

I have used the first four for a watercolour wash using the smoosh technique of ink on an clear block, spritzed with water and smooshed onto some Shimmery White cardstock. Then I stamped the gorgeous flowers in Memento Black and the sentiment in Peacock, with a few peacock splatters from flicking the pen against the inside of the pen lid- an old technique but a good one.

The painted panel is on a pool party mat embossed with the Subtle folder and I added a few rhinestones for sparkle of course.

The tiny strip trimmed from the edge was used on the inside panel to tie the card together, and I had to punch a dragonfly of course so he's on the inside too.

Simple stamping- this was a really quick card to create.

If you want to get your hands on this lovely set before Christmas you can  join my team and become a demonstrator.

Don't forget it's a great time to purchase some crafty supplies for your Christmas gifts. Today is a great opportunity as there is still 10% off a huge range of products until midnight tonight.

I can highly recommend these 2 kits as fabulous gift ideas. 

Everything you need to create 15 cards is in the Simply Citrus kit- that works out to $3.30 per card, and includes a Navy Ink Spot, stampset, clear block, embellishments and adhesive.

And the Joy to the World kit is spectacular for creating 8 stunning cards with the stampset and ink to create lots more.
