I haven’t been posting this week because I have been working on some projects for a Blog Hop coming up this weekend. I am participating in the Stampin’ Addicts Hop this weekend featuring products from Stampin’ Up’s new Holiday Mini. My set is Rejoicing in Christmas and I have had so much fun it. Here is a sneak peek:
Lots of sparkle, yes indeed!! Make sure you drop back by this weekend.
Now for today’s post I have made another Christmas card using a beautiful set called A Wish for Peace. I used the Sketch Challenge 295 from Splitcoaststampers and the Stampin’ Royalty challenge #34, Monochromatic Neutrals. I chose brown as my neutral (big surprise) and started with Naturals Ivory paper. I stamped the church image and then sponged on Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and Early Espresso ink for the sky. Hard to see in the picture but I used Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint for the church and Frost White Shimmer Paint for the ground. Finally, I used some Smooch Spritz on the whole image. Pulled out the Square Lattice embossing folder (well, that would assume that it had been put away, but you understand), tied on the button with Linen Thread and attached the Espresso Satin Ribbon. Here is the final result:
This card is going right into the stash for my Operation Write Home Challenge. It came together quickly so I’ll probably make a few more just like it!
That’s it for today. Make sure to stop back by on Friday (or during the weekend!). Have a great Wednesday!
