FOSTV145 - Red, Gold and Green

This times challenge at FOSTV is to use the colours Red, Gold and Green.  You can find the challenge here.

I made two cards.  The first is a simple Christmas card using the holly from Create with Pine Boughs and the sentiment from Cardinal.  The second card uses a very sparkly gold paper which was a nightmare to photograph, a die cut green panel and some Roses from the Roses stamp set which were coloured with H2Os.. 

Don't forget to check out the cards made by my team mates and to get your creative genes going.  The challenge closes on Sunday 23rd November.

One that got away

I made this card for last week's blog hop with the sentiment from the Cardinal set but then I forgot to post it.

The blue background was stencilled and placed behind the die cut card base. Small gems were placed around the star cut.  The sentiment from the Cardinal set was stamped onto a small blue circle.
