Sentiment in Focus at Allsorts Challenge

Hello everyone, it's time already for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and this time our theme is "Sentiment in Focus" selected by Helen. Or you can choose the Anything Goes option instead. The challenge runs for 2 weeks and hope you'll join us! We have a prize from Sweet Poppy this time.


I'm currently in "Christmas Card-Making Mode" so I decided to use a large sentiment stamp by Penny Black (from the set Festive Cheer) stamped with Versafine Onyx ink. Next I chose patterned paper from a 6x6 paper pack I purchased from Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago. A little more was needed under the sentiment so I chose die cut pieces from Spellbinders (they are part of a sleigh die set by Spellbinders (Delivering Joy). 

I used Kraft cardstock for my card base by Recollections 110lb from Michaels.

I plan to share my card with these challenges:


And that is all for today. Hope you're having a great weekend!
