Winter Blues

Morning LIMettes... Firstly I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year and apologise for my lack of visiting you all.  The holiday period was far more hectic than I ever imagined and I didn't really get much time for crafting of any sort.

It's a new month at Less Is More which also means we have a New Sponsor and I am delighted to say that my lovely friend and fellow LIMette, Lizy, is Sponsoring us this month.  The Prize is a £15 Gift Voucher to spend on Stampin Up.

Anyhow, onto this weeks challenge... It's a colour challenge and we have chosen

Winter Blues

Here are my cards...

For the first card I coloured some Embossing Paste with Chipped Sapphire Embossing Paste. I also used a piece of card with the same colour blended to cut out the sentiment.

I simply stamped a bit of ink onto my mat and then mixed in some White Matte Embossing Paste from Dreamweaver.

I then mixed it together a bit.  I did try for a slightly marbled effect but the more you work it the more it mixes.

Any that was left I put into a little bag.  Fingers crossed I can use it again, although I'll know to do a lot less next time

For this card I simply layered banners following the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. So glad I didn't miss this one as love it!!
