New year and new stash to use - lucky me:) I've used a new to me stamp from Dylisions, but I only cut parts of it out with as a tag, using dies from StudioLight.
I used black, grey and white colors and papers only, and I followed a sketch.
Did I follow the theme of celebration too? I think, probably yes, as this is a card for boy for his confirmation. I'm not sure if this is a practised in other countries, but confirmation is a ritual that marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. It is originally a Christian ritual. In Norway, there are many different options for confirmation, both in religious and non-religious communities.
This card is for:
Allsorts - #710 Something New
The Paper Players - #622 Tag, You're It!
Sunday Stamps - #300 Sketch - Let's Celebrate
Bonus card:
I also made another card for the same occasion, using the same stamp and tag dies set, but not entering into challenges. As I have family memebers, and they in turn have friends and neighbours in the right age for confirmation as well, I'm trying to make a batch of cards for this occasion.And I'm trying to be more efficient in my cardmaking, without ruining all the fun, of course:)
Two brilliant versions of your card Pia,both colourways are gorgeous,looks like a very useful stamp for many occasions

Perfect stamp for masculine cards and especially for confirmation, they both are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at Allsorts;-))m
This new stamp seems a treasure for masculine cards, Pia! And your choice to cut it partially with a tag die is so clever! Both the designs are elegant, and the palettes just perfect for male. You are always so good with men cards! I love especially the black, grey & white, it looks very classy and love the papers used.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting know about confirmations in Norway, we in Italy have only the Christian ones.
