Got a blue thing going on at the moment. The first card I'm entering in the Bah Humbug challenge - to use vellum. Eek! The vellum is the punched border down the side. Bit of a cop out I know but at least it was easy to stick down. The image is a penguin stamp I've had for ages -Funstamps - whoever they are. I've stamped it 3 times and coloured with Lyras, cut out with a nestie and inked round the edge with Adirondack Cloudy Blue. The bp is from a Graphicus Guild paper pack.
The second card is for the CD Sunday challenge - 'Monochrome'. The image and the bp are both from My Craft Studio Craft e Christmas cd and the velvet ribbon from my stash. Both cards have a peel off greeting. Lazy I know but what am I to do with the masses of peel offs I aquired when I first started.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Hi Beryl
I hope you are keeping OK.
Lovely creations - I seem to work in colours too.
One week it turns into a pink week and then a green one .. .. but not intentionally.
I know what you mean about the peel offs too!! LOL!!! Mine get used when all the kids and my sister and her kids come round early December for "label day". They all sit and make Christmas labels and each year I think that it will get rid of the peel offs .. .. but no .. .. there are always some left and the kids bring more with them because they feel bad about using up all the stock LOL!!
Have a good day.
Love Jules xx
Gorgeous blue cards Beryl, love the cute penquins.

Ha! Ha! I know exactly what you mean about the peeloffs Beryl. I gave stacks away to a school for making cards for charity but still have hundreds left!
Love both the cards today and I'm having a bit of a blue phase too. The tree image is beautiful and I have a real soft spot for penguins.

Hi Beryl,
Love both cards, for different reasons.The penguins are so absolutely cute and the coloring is fab. Your starred background mirrors the little stars they are holding and vellum IS a challenge. Your punched vellum doesn't detract or cover up the image, so very clever indeed!
The second monochromatic card is SO lovely, almost misty looking. That tree is exceptional. And what is wrong with rub-ons? For me they are in the category of using digi images, letting some one else do the printing and stamping. It isn't wrong, just a different experience. Some do both and some are purists like me who love the feel of the "block" in my hand (either wood or acrylic) and under my control.(Well sometimes "under my control"!) LOL
Great cards, both of them!
Love and hugs, Martha
