I want to thank everyone who visited my blog yesterday - you made me feel as if my posts had been missed! I read every comment as well and so many brought a smile to my face. I appreciate you!
I was in the mood for a lighthearted Christmas card in non-traditional colors today. It absolutely tickled me pink to make this card! I love pink and green together with just a hint of red, don't you?
The Season of Joy stamp set is the perfect choice for a whimsical style card. My search resulted in no pink DSP to use, so I stamped the background with the words image from the set. (It was a DUH! kind of moment, lol!) The tree is stamped and cut out to add to this circle card, bedecked with pearls that were colored with my red Sharpie.
At MOJO Monday a circle or square card was the theme and here's the great sketch that inspired my layout.
I learned a new trick when making circle cards. Instead of die cutting or folding one sheet of card stock that is hinged at the top, I now cut out two separate circles. I score the one for the card bottom about 3/4 " from the top and fold it down to make a flap. Then I match the two pieces up and adhere them together. Makes the card a bit sturdier and I find it easier to make as well.
It's a rainy day today, but I'd best me on my way. Thanks for stopping by!
