We Love Stamping November Reminder

Today is the 18th so time for a reminder for the current challenge over at We Love Stamping. The challenge where we love to see you using your stamps. 

Anesha has chosen our theme this month:

**Anything Christmas**
OR
**Anything Goes**

I followed a tutorial by Christina Werner to make this card. You can find it here. My tree stamp is called Christmas Forest by Phill Martin for Sentimentally Yours. The sentiment is a Uniko stamp.


I quite like the moody sky look that this technique gives. You just wipe a juicy ink pad directly onto the paper. My splatters went a bit wrong in a couple of places. You will notice if you look carefully! I used a white gel pen to add some highlights in the foreground. I used a small scalloped edged die to cut the panel and then mounted it onto some navy card and then a white card base.


Don't forget there is always a prize to be won and this month there are  2 prizes each of two stamps/sets from Stamp Addicts. Why don't you head over to the challenge blog to check it out? The prize winner is selected randomly and in addition the DT will choose a top three for special mention.

I hope I have inspired you to join us this month, all you have to do is ensure stamping (including digi) is seen somewhere on your card front, it no longer needs to be the main focus. Please also mention the products used. It would be great if you could join in with our theme, but anythings goes is always an option if you are out of ideas. The challenge will close at noon (UK time) on Wednesday 3rd December.

I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Fab northern lights sky Hilary. I can’t see any mistakes with your spattering, but I have to say I’m the queen of misdirected spatter - mine never, ever behaves itself! Xx
