Happy Weekend! I'm cranking out the Christmas cards as best I can, since I need to send some from my family, as well as for my stash at the arts gallery, where I sell my cards.
Finally got to play with some new-to-me DeNami goodies that I won months ago. The snowflake was stamped in red, then colored in with kraft and white markers. I also dotted some areas with Liquid Pearls.
The sentiment panel is lopped off one side, and I rather like how this looks. Can't take credit for the idea: I've been poring over the pages of Card Creations by Paper Crafts Magazine. I get SO much inspiration there!
My inspiration comes from these challenges:
