Happy Friday and welcome! It's been a busy couple of weeks for our household. Our cute and courageous little foster dog, Pocky, lost his fight with kidney disease and the time came to say goodbye. Then we also said goodbye to our home of the last four years and moved to a different area, closer to where we know and love and a newish property that meets our needs and we have lovely neighbours. So we are very happy.
This week at Just Add Ink, we have this cute Choose Two Challenge out of Pens, Pencils or Patterned Paper. Our design team have created some incredibly beautiful cards to inspire you where to start with this fun challenge. I hope that you can take a moment and hop on over to JAI and take a peek!
For my card this week, I chose Pens and Patterned Paper.
I stamped the outline of the Decorative Trees stamp and then coloured it with Copics and Blends before stamping the inside, detailed image using Shaded Spruce. This not only meets the challenge brief but adds detail and a bit of movement to the image.

The red lights and gold star are attached and then the tree is layered over a white circle from the Spotlight of Nature dies. This just helps the tree stand out against the patterned paper chosen for the background.
The sentiment is a mixture of one of the sayings from the set - the word "merry" was covered so that it wasn't inked with Versamark and then embossed. And then the word Bright was die cut using the fun Peace and Joy dies that are now retired. I love being able to make slightly older sets relevant by using newer stamps with them.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope that you are inspired to join us for this week's challenge over at Just Add Ink. I can't wait to see which Two out of the Choose Two options of Pens, Pencils and Patterned Paper that you choose to craft with and what you choose to create!
