Hi everyone-
Can I tell you how much I have missed blogging this week.
I mentioned last week that we will be moving the first week of December, well we are and it's official.
This move will be the last move, until we decide we are ready to move to Colorado!!
I'm ready...I can move there now; however, we have a lot of loose ends that need to be taken care of first.
So in the mean time...I will be packing for the next 3 weeks and scrapping/blogging very little until we are all settled in. I have to tell you though this time changes really screwed me up today. So I am apologizing now for the horrible picture of my card. Pictures have been retaken!! :)
Today challenge over at SweetStamps is:
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I really enjoyed putting this card together, since I'm really not in the Christmas spirit right now.
I stamped the Christmas tree four times on cream cardstock, using Memento Bamboo Leaves. Then I cut three of the trees out and filled in with color using Shabby Shutters distress ink. Once dried I went around the Stardust Glitter pen and added shine to the tree and applied little dots of Ice White pearls as well.
Then folded two of the trees in half, glued them to themselves and then applied on top of the third tree.
Inside card:
You can barely see it, but around the frame I inked with Antique Linen and stamped using one of the Decorative element stamps, which are part of October's new release. Paper is from Authentique: Wonder.
