Neutral Noel

I have another neutral card using my 'Pumice Stone' Distress Ink today...I hadn't realised how pretty 'beige' could be until I used this ink on this card last week. I stamped the tree stamp (from the 'North Country' set by Prima) in Versamark, then eat embossed it in white, before blending the 'Pumice Stone' ink over the top. I matted it on to white, and then kraft card, and added a sentiment (from the 'Bubble Tree' set by Woodware) stamped in Memento 'Rich Cocoa' ink.


Challenges for this card:
  • Crazy Challenge - No Designer Papers
  • Jingle Belles - Neutral Noel (I was inspired by the colour scheme, and gorgeous tree & snowflake cushions in the photo)
  • Lollipop - White with a Splash of Colour
I'll be back with another Christmas card tomorrow for our current ABC Christmas Challenge.

  23. Hey Helen, beautiful card indeed. Pretty, Simple and Neat - exactly what a thoughtful card should be rather than overblown decoratives. Beige, white, pumice stone, colours and textures all look enticing. I recently found a very intriguing top IAS coaching in Chennai. They share the same vibes as yours.

  24. Great work. Beige goes along with white so well. Loved the shimmer and the font. It is simple and such work stands out for its class and elegance. It inspires me to make few cards but busy with my Music Institute Coimbatore . May be I can buy it from you.
