Hi peeps! A little late today---I have a Christmas card for you using the Merry Monday challenge of a favorite Christmas verse as well as the CAS Christmas Card challenge, to use an ornament:
I pulled out an old Waltzingmouse stamp set, I am not even sure what it's called--maybe Stitched Christmas?--and stamped it on some patterned paper in Early Espresso, fussy-cut it out, then added a nativity die and a sentiment from Papertrey:
I popped up the nativity scene against the palm trees, then "hung" it on some Christmas Pines pine branches with some Tranquil Tide ribbon:
and stamped the pine branches again in the lower corner behind the sentiment:
I hope this is CAS enough! I sure love these challenge themes! Thanks for popping in today!
I forgot to post this before-the-bus "impromptu" stamping session...Cassidy made her teacher an Easter card:
and yes, there was snow on the ground...thankfully, it's all gone, but it's still way too cold for April! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
