I know it’s way too early for Christmas cards, but I’ve had these Christmas papers, stamps and dies staring at me for a few weeks now since we pre-ordered from the Holiday catalog. And when I saw the sketch over at the Freshly Made Sketches site and the banner challenge at The Paper Players site, I just instantly knew what I wanted to do with it. And that so rarely happens to me.
So you see, I couldn’t help but make a Christmas card today.
I covered the snowflake with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and the Very Vanilla looking card stock is actually the Shimmery White card stock — I just can’t get it to shimmer for the camera.
This was a fun sketch and it was fun to make a square card again. I don’t make many of them.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Border Banter
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Shimmery White, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla (snow flake), Be of Good Cheer dsp
Embellishments: Snow Flurry Bigz die, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Large Pearl Basics Jewels
