Stampin’ Up Saturday ~ Monochrome….

….and the art of mass production.

P1020465

Christmas card making has been in full swing this week. The most time consuming part, for me, is coming up with a design. Once the first one is done, I can usually knock up a set quite quickly, but after about the tenth I get bored with the repetition.

Time to change it up. That’s what I’ve done here. I took the original design, swapped the red ink for blue, inked up the opposite side of the embossing folder and used seam binding instead of tulle. A very different feel, using the same main ingredients.

P1020466

  • Pool Party cardstock and ink
  • Whisper White cardstock
  • Morning Post alphabet stamps
  • Lacy Brocade embossing folder
  • Postage Stamp punch
  • 1 1/4” square punch
  • seam binding

If you have any questions you can find me at angelfishcrafts{at}gmail{dot}com

I’ll be placing an order on Monday (10th) which will probably be my last before Christmas. If you need anything let me know.

Utterly gorgeous Fiona....indeed it's my fave of the two colour ways. Although the original is stunning too.

Gorgeously gentle and yet still wonderfully striking!
