Started week eight with a scene inspired by the Art by Marlene beach hut I stamped … plus it reminded me of the holiday and I needed that!
Went for total pattern for day 51 – the circles were stamped but then went doodle all the way! Really love this! Again I am back to fabric designing! What a fun skirt this would make!
Went back to my collection of Darcy stamps for day 52 – isn’t this a cutie? then kept the doodling simple as really wanted the image to pop – so plenty of white space – unusual!
Next up I used this splodgy circle stamp to stamp randomly to the card and then did a simple background design.
On Thursday I went very simple with the stamped trees and then a doodled border. Just didn’t think it needed much!
Friday I took this postage stamp stamp and made some fun doodles sitting in the frame and then shaded around the stamps and gave it a grey background … I love this one ❤️
Saturday I was busy making the final Christmas in July projects and completely forgot until late to do my card … but got to it just before I headed to bed…
Stamped feathers and a lined background with some subtle green shaded colouring.
Heading into the final few days now … just five more cards to do to complete the 2025 series – very happy with what I made this year and the fact I kept it simple and a total contrast to last years collages with the postage stamps and circles as the themes. This year has been a real change of pace – and simple is exactly what I needed alongside the Christmas in July challenge!
Happy crafting!
