Good morning
I'm here this morning to introduce the next challenge at Less is More. A super easy theme challenge...
Lots of scope for you here, just create a Christmas card, remembering to keep your design clean and simple.
For my Design Team sample card I chose to use a new to me stamp set, and one which I recently purchased after winning a gift code with STAMPlorations. Here it is...

This was so quick to make and, although this is a layering set, the solid images aren't designed to fit exactly within the outlines so this was so easy. I stamped the outline images first, starting with the berries and then the leaves, then stamped their co-ordinating solid colours. All that was left to do was stamp the sentiment, which is also from the set, then die cut the panel and adhere it to the card base. I could have stamped the images directly on the card base but I had originally planned to use a red or green card base but decided it looked better on white after all.
Materials used:
- Stamps: STAMPlorations (The Bee's Knees) - Layered Holly
- Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black; Altenew - Hunter Green, Crimson
- Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles

Thanks so much for taking a look. I am terrible for leaving my Christmas card production so late in the year so, if you're like me, why not start now and get your first one made. As you can see above, there are quite a few other challenges with a Christmas theme this month too.
Enjoy your weekend.
LOVE this Anita! Simple perfection and fab use of the inspiration. Thanks for sharing at Just Add Ink.
