Happy Friday, peeps! I haven't done a Christmas card for a while, and since there were a couple of challenges out there that intrigued me, I decided to dust off an older holiday stamp and get to work! FMS has a very cool sketch from Kim; Jingle Belles wants bells, and Krafty Chicks just wants Christmas! And here's the sketch:
I stamped the bells and holly from Bells & Boughs, scrounged through my DSPs for some pretty plaid, and here's what I came up with:
I watercolored the image and added some Wink of Stella to the bells, which I wish you could see...so sparkly! I fussy-cut it out and mounted on top of strips of Garden Green, Real Red and Gold Foil, and Christmas From Around the World DSP:
Both sentiments, inside and out, are from Itty Bitty Christmas (SO happy that made it into the new catalog), and I stamped another image from the same set in Mint Macaron:
I love this layout, it has so many possibilities! Thanks for popping in today--enjoy your day and be blessed!
