Happily, I've used another printed-but-not-yet-used digital stamp from my box. This is Power Poppy's Acorn Ornaments, sentiment included.
Lots of white space, easy to mail. I do love a splash of color on an all-white card.
Colored with Copic markers on X-Press It Blending Card. The frame was made by nesting two Taylored Expressions Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. I added a Poppystamps Wispy Pine Needle Corner, cut in green and coated with Crystal Stickles glitter glue.
I have to say this was a very quick card to make. CAS sure saves a lot of time.
Sending a thank you to the CAS Christmas Card Challenge team for all their inspiration, and a big thank you to all of you for stopping by. Have a good day!
Well we are into April and I still haven't made one Christmas card! This is so cute...I love the ornaments and the sentiment is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornaments Leslie! Your colouring with copics is amazing! Love the corner pine branch with stickles, and the framing of your ornaments. Great detail with adding the pointillism background. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt might be easy to mail, but oh so gorgeous!! The added Stickles just gives it the perfect amount of sparkle, probably took the stickles longer to dry then your card took to make..lol...I find that out all the time as I always seem to stick my fingers in it...patience~patience LOL...A beautifully colored card and now one more ahead...lucky you.
