After writing all my cards that need to go into the mail, I found I still need just a few more to attach to gifts that I am giving some friends. Luckily there are still some challenges with Christmas themes that have helped to inspire me.
I’m entering my card today into 5 challenges:
- Freshly Made Sketches #366
- The Paper Players #421
- Crazy 4 Challenges #463
- CAS Colours & Sketches #301
- The Sisterhood of Crafters – Stitched dies
I made an alcohol ink background with crimson and lettuce alcohol inks. I then die cut a vellum tree using a Stampin Up die from the Winter Woods bundle. I then cut the alcohol ink panel with a stitched rectangle die to make the panel smaller and fit the Sisterhood fo Crafters challenge (which you can see in the close up).
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.
