This is my DT card for this week's challenge over at Sophisticats, we're on week 4 already, blimey how did that happen? And this week the Sketch has been provided by the wonderful wacky Stef. It's a great sketch, interesting without being too complicated I think so I hope you'll join in & you can win one of Lisa's own CD's that she designs, which is full of gorgeous backing papers.I had an absolute nightmare trying to photo this card, no matter what I did I just couldn't get the colours right, they're still not right now, but as good as it's going to get, I'm seriously considering getting myself a small light box for photography, as now the days are drawing in & the good weather surely won't last much longer, I think it'll come in very handy. My hubby (who hates paying for anything as he says he can make it himself (and he's usually right!) cobbled together a light box inside a cupboard when I mentioned I needed one! He rigged it up with white boards, a light, sheeting and all sorts, but I did get better results than I got outside).
Anyway, I've gone for another Christmas card, and it's all Stampin' Up! A couple of weeks ago I visited my SU! granny (my upline's upline in other words!!) and stamped out some images from the lovely Scandinavian Season set (and have now added this to my never-ending wishlist!).
Recipe:
Stamp Set - Scandinavian Season
Ink - Always Artichoke, Real Red
Stampin' Write Markers - Real Red; Pumpkin Pie
Cardstock - Always Artichoke; Real Red, Whisper White
Plus Dazzling Diamonds glitter
Other - Cuttlebug embossing plate.
Hope you'll join us this week.

hi hun
just love what you have done with the sketch love how simple yet elegant it is just brill as usuall love cheryl xxxxxxx
Beautiful Jan - I love the colours you've chosen - very classy. My hubby said and did exactly the same thing and made me a DIY light box, but I have used it to death and it is falling apart. Aparently the girls on the forum were saying you can get a pop up light tent for about £15! I might check that out. Although that is the equivelant of at least 3 stampin pads - hee hee.
It is so gorgeous!! lovely card Jan

hugs,
This set is fab. Took me a while to get on with it, but now I love using it and this is a brilliant example of it. Zx
Hey Jan...well done Kev!! tell him so too! he saved you betweem a tenner & 40 squiddlies, now that's hats off to him..that's all I can say and I to be extremely honest Jan the lighting is perfect! I live in quite a bright house as im on top of a hill & I always have to use my day lamp and white card surround to get a decent pic.
Love this card as you know. Very talented friend I have. You inspire me hun.
Love Lisa.xxx
