I decided to use Wings of Joy for my card today because I've been a huge slacker with my Christmas-card-a-week. So I actually made four of these cards, which means I'm all caught up and back on schedule! I used the blast from the past sketch for my layout.
The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and I paired it with my new Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather mini deck. I love the unconventional purple hues in this holiday paper! The image is coloured with copics and I added a little sparkle with my red Spica glitter pen. I used my open scallop border punch on the patterned paper and added some Tiny Twinkles between each scallop for a little sparkle. I kept my embellishments to a minimum (thinking ahead to postage for mailing these cards) and simply wrapped some cherry twine and tied a bow.
Now I know there's plenty more eye candy along the hop so get going!
Thanks for stopping by!
