Happy Thursday which means it’s time for another challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and it’s the beginning of a new month which means that it’s time for hostess duties to change – this month it’s Karen setting the challenges. She chose a bright trio of primary colours for us to use and for some reason that meant the Totally Trees stamp set to me!

Here’s the banner which inspired my card:

I started by stamping the sentiment from All About Everything in real red and then added basic black trees from Totally Trees (I really love this set, it’s going to get a lot of use) to surround it. Then I grabbed the other two chosen colours and used them for the splodge – a technical term! – for each tree. I played a bit with mats before determining that island indigo on a real red card base was the most fun.

Since my stamps were inked up, I added a tree to the envelope front. Why not, right?

Totally Trees is one of the brand new sets available in the new Holiday catalogue which is going live for customers today! If you’ve bought from me in the last year, you should already have received your catalogue – if not, just let me know and I’ll send one along. Or, if you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and would like a catalogue, drop me a note and I’ll send one your way. In the meantime, click on the picture of the catalog on the left, and look at it online.

Once you’ve checked out the new catalog, I hope you’ll go to the challenge site and check out the cards by the rest of the design team and then have a go yourself. It would be great to see you in the gallery.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
