Hello and Happy Sunday!
Are you working away on Christmas cards? I am trying to make as many as I can for a friend of mine. Today I have one in the traditional red and green. I do tend to lean towards traditional Christmas cards and decor. I love the traditions of Christmas and I have so many fond memories of making Christmas cookies as a kid and listening to Gene Autry sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and all of the other songs on the album.
I used the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. Colors are from the Just Us Girls Challenge.
My images were stamped on Neenah Solar White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics then fussy cut out. The background panel was embossed and I used a strip of vellum for the strip on the right. I die cut a circle of red CS with my IO Wacky Stitched Circle Dies and then tucked the images into place and adhered them once I got the arrangement right.
The sentiment is from the SnSS Jesus is Born Stamp Set. I embossed it in black on the vellum. A few SSS sequins finish the card.
Thanks for stopping by and have a Blessed week!
Lee Ann
