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:
Good morning LeAnne! You know I LOVE Poppy Parade, what a fabulous Christmas card with the new paper! You are tempting me. The sentiment is perfect! LOL! You crack me up! Thanks for playing with me, it was so nice to see your pretty card! Love Pumpkin, cats are wonderful creatures aren't they!!
