I am loving this paper collection from Memory Box called Yuletide. I used it to make two Christmas cards last night, I'll share one of them with you today.
Paper: cardstock (PTI); Neenah; designer paper (Memory Box)
Ink: Gray Flannel (Memento); Fired Brick distress ink
Stamps: Stampin' Up (Language of Friendship); Hero Arts (Merry Christmas)
Other: gold ribbon (stash); Woodgrain embossing folder
I borrowed the sketch from my friend Trinh in Texas, I even used it for the second card I liked it so much. Thanks Trinh!
The birdie is paper pieced and the little wing is popped up with dimensional squares. I created a woodgrain background using a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
I woke up to a general power failure in town. Then I discovered that I had no Internet connection! (It's all back up now). It's grey and cold and raining, so we've postponed the visit to the Childrens' home for tomorrow. But, it's still a good day! I hope yours is too!
