Sophisticats Week 14

Good morning all, it's a wet and windy one here, yuck what a start to the week. However it is a new challenge week over at Sophisticats. A HUUUUUGE thank you to everyone who joined in with my challenge last week, we had our highest number of entrants, over 60, which is fantastic, the winner will be announced tomorrow.

This week our lovely boss Lisa has chosen the theme and she's gone for:

No image - verse & flowers for any occasion

You may have spotted a distinct lack of flowers on my card, that's because I forgot - oops, was so busy on Saturday making all my DT cards for the week ahead and I missed out the flowers, but I've been forgiven - phew!

I used the sketch from this week's Funky Fairy Challenge, so I'm entering my card in there, and also at Cards for Men, as I think this card has a masculine feel to it.

I've used all SU products on my card as detailed below:

Stamps - Silent Night, chalked with SU pastels; SnowBurst (stamped with Versamark)

Cardstock - Whisper White; Chocolate Chip; Real Red

DSPs - Merry Moments

Ribbon - Chocolate Chip Grosgrain

Hope you'll join us again this week, our prize is two week Guest DT spot next year.

Have a good day!

"Silent Night"

Here's another card made with the beautiful Silent Night stamp set, when I first saw this set in the SU! catty, it completely passed me by, not the sort of thing I'd normally go for, so I didn't really register it. Then I saw some of the fantastic cards other Demo's had made with it, and when I visited another SU Demo, Rachel and had a play with some of her stamps, I stamped out a couple of image from this set & fell, completely & utterly in love! So much so I've now got my own & will be making quite a few Christmas cards with this set for sure. Only two stamps in the set, this one & a lovely saying in a beautiful handwritten script.

The image is large and IMO needs no colouring in, so you've got a card pretty much in an instant with it, I've added SU! Heat & Stick powder & then my SU! Dazzling Diamonds (no glitter drift if you use the powder first) and I think that's all the image needs.

I'm entering my card into Stamp With Us, who are also having a DT call (so fingers crossed) and their theme this week was a recipe challenge -

1 stamp, 2 papers; 3 brads.

I also entering it into Creative Card Crew's challenge, and their theme is favourite things, well I think this stamp definitely falls into this category!

Here's the rest of the details - all Stampin; Up!

Stamp - Silent Night

Ink - Chocolate Chip

DSPs - Merry Moments

Cardstock - Very Vanilla; Chocolate Chip; Old Olive (I've distressed the Olive layer)

Brads -from stash - non SU!
