Hi stampers! It's Tuesday, time for a new challenge over at HSS. This week is a color challenge which are always my favorite! Check out these fab colors:
I love them and of course I HAD to make a Christmas card with them! I'm pretty traditional so I just couldn't NOT make something Christmas here! I know that being on a design team is supposed to make me think outside the box BUT sometimes I like the box and we all know I love Christmas. Plus, now that Halloween is over I pretty much make Christmas stuff for the next two months anyway! I'm a seasonal stamper, lol!
It was also the perfect time to break out my stiched stockings set and punch which I had gotten and not used yet. Anybody else buy stuff and then it sits on the shelf and stares at you for a while? ;-)
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Stitched stockings, hand penned holidays
Paper: Very vanilla, wild wasabi, real red
Ink: Versamark, real red, wild wasabi, cherry cobbler, silver glimmer
Accessories: Pewter EP, stocking punch, snow burst embossing folder
I kept the card pretty simple because I wanted the stockings and glimmer paper to really stand out and shine. I colored my stockings with markers and then added my glimmer paper accents. I also really love the new snow burst embossing folder...of course I haven't met a folder I don't like, lol! The sentiment is from Hand Penned Holidays and I finally had to break down and get it after not liking it initially. I thought it was hard to read and still do but it's elegant...I'm such a sucker, lol! I embossed it with the new pewter EP to keep with the silvery theme. Anyway, I hope you like it and I hope you go check out what the DT has come up with and play along with us! You know you want to:-)
Happy stamping!
I love that stocking set and that sentiment set. Great card!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty. The glimmer paper adds such a great touch.
ReplyDeletesnazzy booties hung on your card, I'm so bummed I don't have a mantle to hang ours from this year so I guess I'll have to make a smaller paper version to sooth my woes! :) Love the glittery toes!
