Happy gray, icky Tuesday, everyone! I had a hard time getting started today! But I really wanted to do some stamping, so I checked out a few challenges and came up with a Christmas card in sort of non-traditional colors:
The Peace on Earth challenge has some lovely inspiration photos for us, and the Jingle Belles wants to see only cardstock....no DSP!
I took my inspiration from the bottom right inspiration photo of the pink candy canes on the brown package! I stamped the candy cane from The Stamp Market's Candy Cane Christmas in a combination of Pretty in Pink and Blushing Bride inks, then added a bow, some glittery holly leaves and some a sentiment on a Crumb Cake diecut panel:
The Every Day Details dies are really fun to use but sometimes all those little dots can get stuck in your die, or on your cutting plate, so here's a couple little tips: Put a layer of waxed paper between your day and your cardstock. The "chads" are less likely to stick in the die that way! You may still need a piercing tool to poke out a stubborn one here or there. Then, use a lint roller to remove all the little dots from your cutting plate! Works like a charm!
And here's the inside:
Very simple and easy! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
