Quick post with a couple of quick cards for Christmas ......... and yes, there's that plaid again. Maybe I went a little overboard on the plaid this year but I don't think so. Oh, and in case you're wondering about this - Just for giggles, I DID go back to see if they still had the plaid hedgehog and someone had already bought it! Amazing.............
First card using alcohol ink backgrounds - think it was some pink and red - could have been purple too and maybe even some blue and yellow. In other words I don't remember! Second one in the plaid of course. Both using a Joyful die from Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for stopping by.........

Lynn, the bold word and stunning backgrounds go together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI need to find that Joyful die! My opinion is never enough plaid. Pastels in spring and darks in the fall/winter months.....bring it on! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the alcoholic ink background and you can never have too much plaid. Love these quick simple Christmas cards.

These are so pretty Lynn! Both of them go so nicely with your die sentiment too!! Gotta love those plaids!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas cards! And in my opinion you CAN'T overdue with plaids (not in making cards anyway!) smile...
ReplyDeleteLove them both Lynn, love the inky one best cause that is what I love to do too..fabulous colours and love the simple designs where I seem to be heading now days, although I still love adding the kitcenh sink when I feel like it.

These are both wonderful! I can't figure out which is my favorite. I love red and black buffalo plaid, but the alcohol background is beautiful. I have alcohol inks, but have no idea how to do that. I must learn!
ReplyDeleteOf course the plaid background is fun, but the first one with color swirling is my favorite. Nice die cut of Joyful. I like the cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Lynn!! I love the beautiful colors on the first one and the sentiment just 'pops' against the plaid on the second one!
ReplyDeleteOh, Lynn, I adore both of these Your background colors (whatever you may have used) are magnificent and they make the die cut sentiment really pop. I love plaid so the second one appeals to me, too. I don't think you could ever use too much plaid. :-D
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, love the vibrancy of the alcohol ink. Emmax
ReplyDeleteLove them both, Lynn. But to be fair to my heart, the alcohol one is so bright and cheerful that it makes me like it more than the plaid. Having said that, good old checks always look nice.
ReplyDeleteLove,

I love them both!! As for me, I cannot get enough of that buffalo plaid! They both look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe AI blended together beautifully for that card. You could make a hundred cards with that buffalo paper and I would love every one. I just love it and the Joyful die is a great one and looks happy against the plaid.
ReplyDeleteLove that layered die, the pretty alcohol inked colors and especially the plaid!
ReplyDeleteLove these two totally different cards Lynn, and how you have used the same die as the centre piece.
