Christmas Joy in Kraft

DSCF4015

Happy Thursday!  Does anyone besides me get frustrated because there are so many great challenges out there and not enough time to participate in all of them?  I combined four challenges today, something I don’t usually do, so bear with me!   First, here’s my card:

DSCF4020-1

And here are all the challenges:

My simple sledding image was stamped with white craft ink and embossed with white embossing powder, then mounted on a Very Vanilla panel and paper pierced all around it. 

DSCF4017

The sentiment was stamped on some off-white twill I got at a yard sale with Memento ink, and mounted over SU’s Simple Snowflake, also pierced and highlighted with a Jelly Roll pen. 

DSCF4018

I secured it with a Glimmer brad.  Really easy and another Christmas card to add to my stash!

Okay, why does a bathroom seem like so much fun to an 11-month old?!

    Wow! How absolutely beautiful your card is, LeAnne!! I adore white stamping on kraft. That is one of my most favorite looks, and you just nailed it here. I love the paper piercing, too. The simple framework and the elegant snowflake add so much detail and charm. And I totally adore your sentiment stamped on the twill. Genius!
    Thanks so much for sharing this with us at The Kraft Journal. :)

    Maybe she is going to potty train early. Wouldn't that be nice?

    Beautiful card, LeAnne! I need to try embossing on Crumb Cake...it is a stunning look! The stamping on the twill is so unique and is the perfect touch! As for the bathroom...the Twins love it, too! It must have something to do with being 11 months old! lol
