Happy Friday---and I am working on a Monday challenge! My friend Lesley has a new challenge called Merry Monday—a Christmas card a week! Ahh, a girl after my own heart! So this week she has a nice sketch:
And of course, once again, I had the sketch in my head and didn’t remember that the sentiment was to be at the bottom! Good thing she is my friend, huh?! So here we go:
You are going to be sick of this Everyday Enchantment paper, but it is SO pretty---look at this lovely pattern, so different from the others. I thought it made a wonderful background for a Christmas card. It’s really quite simple…an oval stamped with a retired image from To You & Yours and the beautiful Christmas sentiment from Delightful Dozen. It was inked first in Versamark, then Poppy Parade, stamped, then sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heated for a real punch! The little bird is from Fresh Vintage (again!).
And I used a piece of the DP along with a new Adorning Accent edgelit die to make a little froufrou for the inside:
Awesome way to start the new year---making Christmas cards!!! Hmmmm, I think maybe I should add some glitter to my house…that would make it even better!
I haven’t had time to take any pix of Cassidy, but Pumpkin visited my craft room the other day:
