Wintery Night

 

Today is the day I post a card for our challenge called Unused No More!  This is a monthly challenge to be posted on the 6th with a group of friends from my No Foolin' Retreat.  Some may post on their blog and I will note those with blogs at the end of this post.  And, some might post on other social media.  Those that participate each month will send a picture in the text thread we have between us, showing our creation.  The premise is to use a stamp set, stencil die, hot foil plate or press plate that is new and has never been used.  So--Unused No More!  

My plan is to pick a different company each month to highlight and maybe even a different product than the month before.  For November, I picked a Brass & Bliss Set that I have not used called Winters Night.  

For my card, I picked a background panel that I cut from a 6x6 Designer Series Paper Pack from Stampin' Up called Thoughtful Journey.  I first stamped the trees and sentiment with Hero Arts Intense Black.  I then put a piece of post-a-note paper over the sentiment and stamped the sky.  Then, finally I added the star.  It is great to have a MISTI, so I was sure to get everything dark enough.  I added a black layer behind and used a white card base.  I did not add any bling or embellishments to the card.

 

I am not sure who will post each month on their blog, but this is a list of the other ladies who do have blogs.  Links to the blogs of Jeanette, Terry, and Darlene.  Be sure to come back on December 6th to see another fun card from a set Unused No More.
