Happy Thursday, everyone! Gearing up for a very busy weekend, so I am getting all my stamping done today and tomorrow, LOL! I love Linda's sketch for FMS this week:
and although I was very tempted to use my Postage Stamp punch, I opted for some Stitched Rectangle dies and some pretty DSPs:
I diecut the Painted Christmas pinecone paper with a rectangle die, then added a mat using the bark paper from Boughs of Holly. I blended some Soft Succulent ink behind the panels before adhering them, and since I don't have any current pine branch stamps, I opted to use one of the Trees for Sale trees...works like a charm! Isn't it fun when your stamps can be used for more than one option?! I added a few "sprinkles" in Crumb Cake with a stamp from Friends are Like Seashells, and a wee bit of Linen Thread:
I distressed the edges a little bit and sponged some Crumb Cake ink, then stamped sentiments outside and in using the Brightest Glow stamp set! Everything went on a Crumb Cake base.
I am also entering this at Krafty Chicks, since this is their Christmas week! That's it for today! Oh, I did want to share a photo Dana's SIL posted; she is an excellent photographer and really has an eye for capturing the most awesome images:
This is the best and ONLY way I like cobwebs, LOL! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
