Hello friends, Welcome to this month’s New at SU blog hop and this month we have a colour challenge. I chose the Sentimental Wishes bundle to create with as my featured product for this card.
We could use any or all of these colours for our project and I’ve gone with all! The first element I created was my focal image – the stocking. I envisioned a stocking made with velvet/suede fabric and wanted to created that textured feel using the Faux Suede technique.
To create this, I distressed a panel of Moody Mauve Cardstock and pulled it apart to form 2 sections. Then, I stamped the stocking in Moody Mauve onto the inner portion and fussy cut the centre section. To add more depth, I blended Moody Mauve ink over the creases and around the edges.
I paper pieced Moody Mauve piece onto another stocking which I stamped on Basic White Cardstock. The other parts were coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The presents were kept simple with colouring in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Ivory Stampin’ Blends.
Here you see the texture from the Faux Suede technique on the stocking
I added some blended Cardstock and Glimmer paper along with a heat embossed sentiment to bring some sparkle to this Christmas card.
The sketch I have followed is from The Stamping Lounge where we have several resources and perks available as part of our membership. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have loved my take on this colour palette. Make sure to visit all the participants to see what amazing creations they have with this one colour palette.

Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic challenge with the Crafty Collaborations team. Some of you would probably know that when Lemon Lime Twist was an In-Color a few years back, I had an avid dislike of the colour and was so glad when it’s 2 year tenure came to an end! And here’s the twist (pun intended): it seems that the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder” holds some truth! This time around I have a bit of a fondness for this colour.
Going through my stamp sets, working out what I wanted to use for this colour, I pulled out the Chantilly Lace set. I purchased this set solely for the lace image it had and I wanted to feature it on this card. As I wasn’t sure how I was going to use it, I took a 1/4 sheet of White Cardstock and stamped 2 of the lace images in Lemon Lime Twist ink. Then I splattered some dots with the Dark Black Stampin’ Blend.
My next idea was to use the Perennial Postage die to cut out some squares. After cutting 4 out, I opted for 3 with this fun sketch and layered them on White and then Black Cardstock for dimension.
I chose a line art floral image from the Fully Flowering Ephera pack, adding fussy cut and die cut leaves to create an arrangement around it.
I layered the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack onto Crumb Cake Cardstock. Having tried Basic Black as a matte layer, I felt the card, as a whole, was too stark and harsh for my style. By adding the Crumb Cake layer and some Linen Thread, it softened the look.
This is a really quick card to put together with the pre-designed pieces in our ephemera packs making it extra quick. Order the products to make this card in my Online Store or contact me to place your order.
Will you be trying out this sketch? I hope you enjoy your weekend and have some crafty time.
