Happy Monday, everyone! I have a quick little Christmas card today before I have my stamp club meeting! It uses the Christmas Card Throwdown color challenge of kraft and red, and the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
Hearts Come Home is still available, as well as Christmas Pines, so I combined the two to create a little scene. In hindsight, I wish I had heat embossed the houses in white, but I had already fussy-cut them all out and I was too lazy to do them again!! So here we go:
I mounted them on a little layer of "snow" and added a moon cut with a 3/4" circle punch. The background is a piece of Crumb Cake that had been run through the Softly Falling embossing folder that was covered with White Craft ink on the inside flat side of the folder. I like how it's a reverse of the snowflakes on my little scene:
I added a sentiment embossed in white and a layer of Candy Cane Lane DSP (ret) for a coordinating background! Another Christmas card for my stash! Thanks for popping in...be sure to come back tomorrow for a nice little announcement! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
