Festive and Fun for AYSI 312

In my head, Christmas happened quite recently but the latest challenge at  As You See It proves to me just how wrong I am! Our latest challenge, a theme, is... Christmas!

And, to be fair, I have been making Christmas cards for at least six weeks already but somehow, this challenge just made it all seem much, much closer. 😀

I decided to have some fun and do some adult colouring Stampin' Up style by using the Festive & Fun stamp set. There's something quite relaxing about the colouring process, isn't there?


Then I added in some non-traditional brightness by using a strip of DSP from the Merry, Bold & Bright selection.  I knew I'd be using it in advance, so made sure to use some of the colours from the DSP into my colouring choices. 


We'd love to see how you see this theme challenge. Visit the As You See It page to see what the rest of the team have done and to link up your entry. You can play along with us until Wednesday 29 November, 11.59pm PST.

  7. I was finding myself wishing I had purchased this set, especially when I saw this card. Such a cute one! I love the blue and green flags on front and the same colours echoed in the striped paper in the background!
