Uncolored

Happy Friday!!  Time for another challenge from Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  This week we have a beautiful inspiration pic for you:

So many options to pull your inspiration from there.  Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps and the winner will receive 7 images of their choice.  Here is my card:

When was the last time you left an image uncolored?  It was so hard to leave it plain!!  I'm still not really sure I like it, but it definitely does give a totally different (and fun) look to the card.

Challenges:
ABC Christmas--U for uncolored
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #199--something forgotten or never used (It isn't exactly forgotten, but I have had that green plaid paper forever and have never used much of it--it needs a special card, you know?)
Treasured Times Challenge #27--anything goes
Craft Hoarder's Anonymous #318--Layer it!
Sweet Stamps #192--anything goes
Crafting By Designs--get ready for Christmas
The Stamping Chef #52--anything goes
MFT #199--sketch
Print
Divas by Design--Festive Florals/Christmas flowers
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday--anything goes
Delightful Challenge--3's not a crowd (I used three rhinestones on the poinsettia and three gumdrops in the upper right corner)
Little Miss Muffet #97--If you go down to the woods (use a bear or fairy)

Supplies:
Stamps: Bugaboo Stamps "Poinsettia Bear" digi; Verve "Ornamental Christmas"
Dies: spellbinders "Layered Poinsettias"; Verve "Sprightly Sprigs"

  16. Heather, c'est très sympa aussi de laisser l'image telle quelle, cela change et lui donne un air différent, mais on retrouve bien l'inspiration de l'image de départ, biz

  18. Great card, but I don't think I would be able to leave it uncoloured either. I might try it and give it a go. I will probably fail though! LOL Thank you for joining in the Stamping Chef Challenge this time.
