NIGHT OF NAVY CHRISTMAS BAUBLE, FOR MM #134

Merry Monday has THE perfect challenge for me this week!  I have had a Christmas Bauble, coloured with Night of Navy Blendabilities, just waiting to be added to a card.  Here's the challenge:





I hope a single ornament still meets the challenge criteria.  Here's the card I whipped up this afternoon:

BIG, RED, BLENDED BLOOM - FOR THE CHALLENGE #18

I couldn't resist the challenge Lesley has set this fortnight; this colour combination is right up my alley!







I have used both the sketch and the colour combo to make a card for my sister-in-law (whose birthday was over a week ago, but she knows I love her!):




The flower I've used as my focal point was one I coloured when I first bought my Blendabilities ... I have quite a few that I am yet to add to projects!  I used my "Blendies" to colour the rhinestone in the centre of the flower, too.  The Whisper White panel in the background has been stamped first with the leaves from Kinda Eclectic, in Crumb Cake ink.  I felt it needed a bit more 'oomph', so then overstamped in Early Espresso using the foliage from Choose Happiness.  I really like the contrast of the fine line detail, against the more solid leaves.  As I tend to do, I went a bit overboard with the number of stamp sets used on one card - I really need to focus on using only one or two sets, I think!
