Christmas is just 78 days away! Can you believe it's that close? If you haven't started making your holiday cards, now is the perfect time to get started and join us for our new challenge this week at Merry Monday! Our challenge is hosted by the talented Lesley Croghan at Always Playing With Paper. For our challenge this week, Lesley wants us to use a bird on our Christmas card! Here's our lovely inspiration photo:
My card features a single white dove created with a little help from the Bird Builder Punch from Stampin' Up!, some Multi Purpose Adhesive and a few dimensionals. It was really quick and easy to put together and I love how it looks against the Basic Gray background! Nothing more is really needed except the perfect sentiment, stamped and heat embossed in white. Clean, simple and elegant! I hope you like it as much as I do!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Greetings of the SeasonPaper: Basic Gray, Gumball Green, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark Watermark
Tools: Bird Builder Punch, 3/16" Corner Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, heat tool, Paper Snips
Extras: Embossing Buddy, White embossing powder, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals
Margaret this is just simply beautiful. hugs.
