Welcome to the October PTI Blog Hop! I whipped together a quick card today for the hop that I wanted to share with you! The theme was to choose a non-traditional color combo to make a Christmas card with. I figured that if the colors were going to be non-traditional than I was also going to make the stamps non-traditional too!
Being from Kansas, I have always had a love for Sunflowers! Oh, how I LOVE to see them blooming in the fields and in the ditches. Some people say they are weeds, but all I see is beauty! So for this card, I decided to take a different approach with my Simle Sunflower stamps and this is what came to be! I started with the Stitched Mats: Rectangle die from Lil' Inker Designs to make my image mat. Then I stamped away with the colors that I chose to work with. I really like how it turned out (I just wish I could photograph the gray cardstock a little better). I used the Simple Stripes impression plate, which I love, on the Smokey Shadow card base.
Thanks for stopping by today! I can't wait to check out the other projects in the hop!
I love how you used a non-traditional color scheme, and non-traditional stamp set, yet still made a beautiful holiday card. Nicely done! :)
