Hi everyone. Today's card is for the
March Rudolph Days. This is a quick card with sponging distress inks over a stencil (pink for the flowers, lime for the holly). No masking so there is a little overlapping of colours, but I'm happy with how it turned out. And it only took a few minutes. I added black lines with a thick black sharpie marker and stamped the sentiment in black.
Very quick, easy, one-layer card. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Loll,
ReplyDeleteHappy Rudolf Days.
What a very gorgeous design and such super stencilling.
The colours look so pretty.
If I had put those lines in they wouldn't be as straight as yours.
This reminds me I have a similar stencil must use it now I have seen this super card.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
For a quick card, it sure came out beautifully!! I love the pretty and bold colors you used and great idea to use a black sharpie to draw on the defining border lines! Lovely, lovely card Loll!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThe lime and pink are stunning together, especially with the bit of black! Love this (and I'm not a big fan of non-traditional Christmas colours!).
ReplyDeletewonderful colour combo and so impressed with your OLC, I really struggle with them. great outlining with the Sharpie to create the illusion of layers :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fab ...... the pink and green are such a nice change from the tradional Christmas colours xx
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty pink poinsettias! And, great way to add black lines with the sharpie! Fab card!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poinsettias and holly, Loll! Quick but delightful! Love the font of the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Loll ... such wonderful impact for a quick and easy card! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Loll, I love the colors you used and even love the overlapping of the colors, it just gives this card character. Looks fast and simple, but oh so elegant. I also thought the black was paper, only to read it was a sharpie. Funny how things trick like that can trick the eye and give such beautiful results, love how the black sentiment works well with the black lines. I just love this card for Rudolph Day! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteso pretty Loll, love the colours you used.

Beautiful coloring on this pretty Christmas card, Lolly! And great idea to add depth with your marker so it looks like another panel underneath!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Amazing colours too.
ReplyDeleteI always love your creativity, Loll. This card is no exception. I applaud your bravery in the direct to card use of the black marker!!!
Thanks for taking part in the March Rudolph Days Challenge.
I am so envious of your 'quick' and wonderful card Loll....amazing effect and what a beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteSuper job sponging through a stencil, Loll. Didn’t even notice the overlapping. Beautiful colour palette. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeously stenciled holly card, Loll! You used unexpected colors and they look fresh. The black lines gives the card a finished-look. They look so straight and even that I thought you layered a black panel underneath!
