Hello! I am home from vacation now and I'm recovering :) We were gone for almost a month and I am very happy to be back home and in the craft room again. That's too long for this homebody!
Anyway, over the weekend, after doing mounds and mounds of laundry, I was able to do some stamping. I used a pretty new Christmas stamp from Pink Ink Stamp Company called Stitched Bird.
I stamped my design with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers. I cut the image out with a double stitched Circle die from My Favorite Things. I used some Christmas patterned paper that I had in my stash for the background. I scalloped the edge of the snowflake paper with a stitched scalloped die from My Favorite Things.
I tied a piece of Baker's Twine around the card and added a few PPP marshmallow sequins to finish it up!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a happy week!
Kay :)
Oh Kay! It's SO good to "see" you again! I've missed you and your beautiful projects. So glad you are home again. It's nice to see that you didn't get smothered under that pile of laundry. Your card is delightful. What a sweet image. I like how you colored the bird and the letters in "merry." The background papers you chose are wonderful. Pretty snowflakes and that red is just perfect for Christmas. Wonderful work, my friend. My week just started off so happy seeing you and your work. :) Hugs!
