I have not been able to do much of anything this week much less stamp or play on the computer. So today, I decided I WAS going to make a card before my day started with the family.
This is for today's Limited Supplies Challenge 215 Triple Play and boy what a challenge this one was for me!!!
First, we were to only three colors. I accomplished that. I used red, black, and white. Oh wait, I have blush for the Santna's faces so that is a color, but I am safe because I can claim my white as my neutral!!
Second, we were to use three elements, or focal points. I did that. I chose to go with a stamped image, a sentiment, and an emblishment. There was a bonus if you put three images on on panel. I think mine qualifies.
And last but not least, and this was a kicker for me, you could only have three layers not including the base. WOW!! was this ever difficult for me!! I so wanted to add a couple more layers to this. In fact, I am making this for my April's Christmas Card Challenge '09. I will be making 10 of these, but I think the other 9 will have just a few more layers!!
The images and sentiment are from High Hopes Stamps. I colored the images with Prismacolor Pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits.
