I don’t do enough of these one layer projects. Not sure why because you can pack as much into them as an OTT layered card.
Fashionable Stamping Challenges this fortnight is:
In The Holiday Spirit.
Our fabulous teamie sister Terry picked the theme this fortnight and all I can say is thanks babe it gave me the chance to get away from those gggrrrr Christmas cards (Christmas I love to bits, cards maybe not) and just play away.
Dot and I went for a holiday theme, mine is a wish you were here Postcard of France and hers is a bathing beauty. Now some of you eager beavers will spot that France isn’t exactly hot at this time of the year but a girl can dream can’t she!!! And it was the only stamp I had with the name of a country.
This image always reminds me of my two granddaughter’s, Amber and Lauren. Getting homesick so I am going to stop right there.
Loved doing this postcard so much that whilst all the goodies were still on the desk I made another, just slightly different.
The Crafty Individuals stamp CI – 283 was just perfect for the postcard. Then came the inks, paint and pure heaven on a piece of card.
Please please pop on over for a peak at what the rest of the Fashionettes have created they are all stunning as usual..
Love your two holiday cards – and it is nice to take a break from “Holiday” cards! Lovely sunshiny feel…

Both cards are very beautiful Shirl. Sometimes, I really appreciate those simple one layer cards where it is not possible to “cheat” by adding a lot of embellishments… Only the scenes are in the spot, and that’s good when beautiful as yours ! Hugs, coco xx
Beautiful one layer cards, the compositions are wonderful along with the inky backgrounds. I hope you had a great weekend, Shirleyx
Beautiful – delicate colours and brilliant composition and quite a treat just to have a little break from the festive season. Those girls are so sweet and the sentiments are lovely. Julie Ann xx
I really love these Shirley. You have captured the magic of the seaside perfectly. Jenny x
Shirley these are wonderful sets – make me longing for summer.
LOVE this Shirl, it just makes me long for warmer weather even more! My mom told me they have 30+ degrees at the moment, in SA! We can dream of it!
Love the summery feel to these two cards – makes me wish I was back on my hols!
