Hi everyone, hope your day is going well! I've had fun with stamps and ink this morning and made a Christmas card.
I began with a white card blank, heat embossed the flourishes in white, stamped some text and snowflakes and inked with TH distress inks. The bird panel was made with a circle die-cut stamped with the snow bird in sepia Archival ink and coloured with distress inks and touches of glitter glue.
This card is for some challenges:
Merry Monday #78 - Christmas Bird
Artful Times #40 - Feeling Distressed
Inkspirational #41 - Anything Goes
Nonni's Card Challenge - Stamp a Happy Christmas
Thanks for stopping by today!
