Well, if you live in the Midatlantic area, you are probably tucked inside warm & cozy because there's a blizzard outside! My little garden angel is a SNOW angel today! A perfect day to stay inside and stamp! So that's what I am doing!
I am making cards for my nieces & nephews in which to tuck a little "green gift", so I am still the Christmas mode! I used the ColourQ11 color challenge today as well as (sort of) Mercy's sketch #52:
So here we go:
My Santa from Flourishes is stamped in Basic Gray on Very Vanilla and mounted on Bashful Blue cardstock. Since I didn't have an oval Nestie large enough to fit the image, I just made a rectangle. The DP peeking out is retired SU; I used a MS snowflake punch on the Basic Gray piece. A fun thing I did was to punch a little snowflake image (it's also on the Santa panel....can you see it?) on a piece of white organdy ribbon. Since the Basic Gray ink is a little bit waterproof, it stamps easily on the ribbon....cool! Then I punched a couple snowflakes, tapped them onto my Versamark pad and coated them with Heat & Stick powder....heated them, then sprinkled on some silver MS glitter & heated again. The bling looks blue, but it is actually silver too:
I hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are and whatever you're doing!

Know what else I love?...that sled you have outside with the ice skates. ADORABLE!
OH so many beautiful things to share today LeAnne! I love that card, and how you 'almost' followed the sketch. It's fabulous, and the snowflake with bling may slow down the openers a bit to admire. Happy crafting today, I'm getting ready to work inside tomorrow!
Very pretty card, I also love the sled!!
You're right about it being the perfect day to stay inside and stamp :)

I know I sent you an email about your card, but I also wanted to stop here & tell you how gorgeous it is! MERRY CHRISTMAS! ~ Arielle
I love that Santa! This is beautiful and so sparkly! I love the sled too! Sadly, my hubby never got mine (or my skates!) out of the garage and I have no idea where they are. He's home all week, I think I will make it his job to find and display it for me!
