While it may seem a little quiet here on my blog, I have been stamping up a flurry down in my craft room. Tomorrow starts the December Teasers withMy Favorite Things. It's going to be another fantabulous release.
I did kick start my mojo yesterday with this great sketch from thei Spy blog. Here's what I did with it.
The papers are from the Walnut Grove paper pack. It's a 6x6 pad with flowery, fall-like patterns, BUT I love that there are a few great, graphic patterns and pulled a few in one of my favorite holiday color combo-aqua blue and olive green. The cardstock is by MFT-Jellybean Green, and some Sweet Tooth.
I got brave with my ornament and after stamping the sentiment and decorative stripes (included in the stamp set), I added a bit of colored glitter. I have had that stuff for years, got it for FREE when I was an SU demo and this is the first time I'd used it, I think.
Love how it turned out. I am embracing my Bling, lately and I am having a blast trying out new types of glitter. What better time than the Holidays, right?!
Following the sketch, I tied on some jute twine and added a few sweet, lil' holly leaves from the same CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT DIE-NAMICS SET. I topped that with a Sno Cone button. I love the homespun feel this card has.
This is a gorgeous christmas card the layout and colours are beautiful. Caroline xxx
