It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

Morning all!! I hope everyone is re covering from Thanksgiving? Are you turkeyed out? I have beem surfing the net for left over turkey recipes. The Skinnytaste "Leftover turkey harvest cobb salad" looks like a winner and the turkey croquettes look good, because I can use all those mashed potatoes I have leftover too. I think I will add cheese to these.

 

We are swinging into Christmas now, 4 weeks to go. How is your holiday card making going? If you need some inspiration, Inky Paws is hosting a sketch challenge for another week that will get your creative juices flowing.

My card today uses the new holiday paper pack, "Meowy Christmas" from from Newton's Nook. For my card I sponged some light brown ink onto the holly and berry paper to give it a more subtle and vintage feel to go with my "Poinsettia Blooms" stamp set.

 

Here is video to get you in the mood for your holiday creating!

Flowery holidays

Christmas cards on 80 something degree days!! Something seems wrong with this picture. Not if you want to get a head start on your holiday cards. I do not have many floral Christmas stamps, so when I saw this Simon Says Stamp Stamptember collaboration with Gina K, I knew I had to buy this set. It is a perfect image to color in.

Today's challenge at Christmas 24 is:

A perfect opportunity to get this new stamp set inky. To color in my poinsettia, I used my Zig clean color brushes.

I embossed the image in gold to add elegance to this CAS card.

 

 You have two weeks to get Christmas flower stamps ink and to play along with us at Christmas 24!!
