Say it with…

Posted by on October 7, 2011 in Annabelle Stamps | 16 comments

Welcome to another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog. Yellow, Lime and Chocolate…not my normal go-to colours, but I am happy with the result and how quickly it came together.

The ornament is from the just-released “Ornamental Christmas” set and I have also used the newly released “Backgrounds by Design 6” set.

The musical background looks orange, but it is actually yellow with a touch of brown and the centre of the ornament is a reddy brown colour. The sentiment was made by combining two of the sentiments from the Ornamental set – I just added the little ‘at’ by hand.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Ornamental Christmas”, AnnaBelle Stamps “Background by Design 6”
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Vintage Sepia, Distress Inks – Scattered Straw, Versacolor – Bark, Brown, Tea Green, Bamboo, Olive, Yellow
Card: AnnaBelle Kraft Card, X-Press It Blending card
Other Supplies: American Crafts clear embossing powder, heat gun, AnnaBelle natural cotton twine, sponge dauber, AnnaBelle pearls 3mm and 4mm, blending tool, foam dimensionals, SEI button, Kaisercraft grosgrain ribbon – brown, Felt pen – brown, Craft Affair Papercraft – die cut chipboard tag
