Well, this month is we have another challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stamping challenge blog with an optional twist to make it monochrome.
My card this month uses a green monochrome look with some new alcohol pearls. I added a touch of neutral (black) with a scene die cut of a house and some trees. I’ve opted for no sentiment as I wanted the AI background to be the hero of this card.
Please pop over to Christmas at Sweet Stamping to see all the lovely DT inspiration, I’m so happy to be part of this team and looking forward to having lots of Christmas cards and decorations made before we reach December. You have until Tuesday 7th May at 6pm (UK time) or Wednesday 8th May 3am (Melb time) to enter.
Now I had a negative panel left from the die cut, so decided not to waste it and I created another AI background and laid the negative over the top for a different look.
I love it when I can get a 2 for 1 when using die cuts!
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.
Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.
So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

A stunning couple of cards. Both your alcohol backgrounds look incredible and love the way you got a 2 for 1 with the die cut piece.

WOW! Tristan, I love the way you’ve used the AI’s and how you’ve used both the positive and negative portions of each die cut! Sure does look completely different each time. Your newer post using AI’s in the background with the white garden in front is equally beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration! hugs, de
