Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a good weekend! Brrr, it was a chilly, wet one! While I was playing with my Soft Succulent papers and ink last week, I came across a scrap piece of Painted Christmas DSP that had the same hues, so I went to work, using some new stamps I had gotten a while ago and never got inky! Here we go:
I began with the sketch from Make The Cards challenge:
After adding a white mat to the DSP, I scalloped the bottom front of the card, then added the circular element and the ice skate image, which I filled with greenery and candy canes. The stamps and dies are from Avery Elle. The sentiment is from Christmas to Remember. I added a strip of Real Red to the bottom inside so the scallop would stand out a bit better:
I found this sentiment in a set my friend gave me after she de-stashed her stamp collection, and it fit perfectly in an Ornate Frame die! Love it!
I am also entering this at the Krafty Chicks, because it's Christmas week! Thanks for popping in today!
Enjoy it and be blessed!
