Christmas is fast approaching and there are still plenty of "Christmas in July" challenges out there for you to take part in to build up your supply of cards...Its also a good way to get one motivated.
So that is just what Ive done...I went ahead and decided to get motivated and create another Christmas card. I will be entering my card into the challenges over at A Muse Studio and Send a Smile 4 Kids.
5"x7"
For this card I used the following cartridge. Plantin SchoolBook-letters/shadows(muliple pages), cut
at 1 inch.
I also used a Magnolia stamp and colored it using the following Copic markers...Flesh-E000, E00, E01
and R20...Outfit/stockings/hair bow-R24 and R27...Gift box-B000, B21, B23, E35 and E37...Hair-E15, E17 and E19.
I made a bow with red satin ribbon and used the same to add across the top.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Kathie
Very festive. There are lots of other Christmas challenges too. Have you looked at 2 Sisters Challenge and Go Fish?
