*******************************************
I am so excited to be part of the blog hop today, and to share my card. I used two of the new release stamps today, as well as one of the sentiments. I knew I had to have both of these stamps when the sneak peek was posted for the Design Team.
The stamps I used today are from the Crissy Armstrong Collection - Christmas Choir Boy and Christmas Choir Girl, and I used a stamp from the sentiment set "Holiday Carols Notables 4".
I first stamped the boy image onto neenah card stock, then again onto a post it note. I created a mask with the post it note (only had to cut around the left side of the image though because that was where I needed the mask. Then I stamped the girl image next to the boy image, with the mask in place.
They have been colored using my faber castell polychromos pencils.
The paper is from a paper pack that I bought last year. I decorated with ornament diecuts using the new Ornament border die. As I mentioned the sentiment is from the set "Holiday Carols Notables 4". I cut it out using the Notables 4 die. I simply embellished with some ribbon, and sewed the edges. Glitter was applied around the image.
I am entering my card to the following challenges:
- Sassy Cheryl's - 1E, SIO - #133 Die Cuts
- Lollipop Crafts - 2W - (1st week) 2 different punches or dies
- Paper Pretties - SIO - Use Ribbon
