Reflect


I have another Christmas card for you today. This one came together quickly because there isn't any colouring. I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #42 for the layout.

The sentiment and image are both from Christmas Blessings, available at Taylored Expressions. I stamped the sentiment with artichoke ink onto Choice Buttercream and cut it out with long rectangle Nestabilities. Then I stamped the bird with burgundy ink onto Choice Buttercream and cut it out with scissors. The patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket Oh Joy Mitten Mitten and I used the reverse side for the circular panel, which I ran through my D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. Everything is layered onto artichoke cardstock. I added some stitching, Gold Stickles, and three gold brads to finish is off.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my Canadian friends and happy Columbus Day weekend to my US friends. Regardless of the reason, it's a looooong weekend...wooo hooo!!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
