Sending Christmas Love

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:
  • DeNami sketch #14 - I turned the sketch and took a little liberty with the sentiment placement

Thanks for dropping in today!

Pretty! Love the pops of colors and the touch of the liquid pearls is the greatest! I am in love with kraft cards! That twine bow just sets it all off. Great job! You could do a whole set of these in other colors but I think I would like the red the best!
