Brenda has chosen the theme of 'Christmas' for this week's Allsorts Challenge. This CAS card took longer to photograph than it took to make, as I had trouble getting the embossed lines to show. In the end I waited for a sunny day and took a photo in the garden.
I started by blending Adirondack 'Red Pepper', 'Sunset Orange' and 'Sunshine Yellow' on a scrap of white card. Then I stamped the Lavinia 'Three Kings' stamp over the top using Versafine Clair 'Nocturne' before trimming into a rectangle. (This stamp is being discontinued, so you'll need to be quick to order one if you want to add it to your collection.) I layered the image on a black mat and stamped the sentiment from the Lavinia 'Seasonal Words' set of stamps in black. The card looked a little too plain, so I used my scoreboard to score double lines all around the edges.
There are 2 prizes this week, Lavinia Stamps and stencil. Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.
I am joining in the following challenges:
It's beautiful Liz, the scoring really draws the eye in to the beauty of the image (yes got mine in time).

ReplyDeleteYou've made a great background for this traditional style stamp framed nicely by the embossed lines. Thanks for the warning that this stamp is being discontinued
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing, Liz! Not only the stamps that you used, but also how you made the background!

I wish you a nice weekend!

Very stylish CAS card Liz … the scoring really helps the image to pop! xx
ReplyDeleteThis card is just gorgeous with that image, a fabulous font for the sentiment, and the embossing that truly puts the focus on the image. Your photography patience really paid off with this pretty card!
ReplyDeleteIt was worth all the effort though, as your card is lovely. I keep forgetting my own Adirondack ink pads ...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card Liz! The score lines are a fabulous touch. Ha, needless to say you 'enabled' me to hop off and buy the stamp before it sells out. It really is a very elegant one. Hugs, Di xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Liz, I love the way you've coloured the sky, and the stamped image is beautiful too. Great idea to embossed the borders, I like the nice, clean lines.

ReplyDeleteI love the red, orange and yellow blend you used as the background to the Three Kings Liz, and the Gothic script of the sentiment is perfect..a beautiful CAS card. I do always check 'Spam' and I often find one or two comments which for no apparent reason have ended up there. x
