Whenever I use this stamp, I think of the Christmas Carol, Away in a manger.
Again its an old stamp with the makers name so faded that it cannot be read. For this card I followed a Colour Combo challenge over at Tuesday Taggers use, silver, gold and purple, with some stamping. It is a shade of purple for the base card and layer, but the light is so iffy at the moment it didn't photo so well. The gold layer I edged with a Martha Stewart punch, the silver is an edging strip and holly berries. For the stamped image I used chalk to shade, and framed it with a MarianneD die shape.
The challenge at Keep It Simple this week is Shape up, I think this card will fit this theme as well.
Thankyou for stopping by to take a look.
Fabulous card Yvonne with such brilliant shapes and colours. Annette x
