Hello, peeps! FINALLY we are having a nice, sunny weekend...it's actually kind of hot! I'll take it, no rain!!! How about a Christmas card to celebrate, LOL? I was a little stumped by the FMS sketch this week:
I had started to use this cute little kitten in a mitten for another challenge but realized it might work for the FMS one, so here we go:
My card base is Crumb Cake and the stars were stamped on some dark green Tim Holtz paper in Mossy Meadow. I stamped my kitty on some watercolor paper, colored him in with an aquapainter, inks and markers, then fussy-cut him out and popped him up on some plaid Christmas paper from my scrap pile:
I had a hard time figuring out whether or not to put a sentiment on the front; I finally found a wee little one from a past Paper Pumpkin set and stamped it on some gold-color paper from Graphic 45; I used the same paper and ink to stamp the inside sentiment on a die-cut banner from Concord and 9th.
I am in the mood to make a few more Christmas cards....my stash is low! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what the Paper Players are up to....it's not Christmas, but I think you'll like it!
I lured in this little ginger last week with some goldfish crackers "bait"...and I got him hooked! LOL...he's my great-nephew Sawyer. He was definitely more interested in the snack than the softball game in the background!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
