Sometimes you see stamps that you envision using to make the exact card featured on the packaging (well almost!) These images of a snowy village and a beautiful sentiment warmed my heart so much I knew they were for me. Bought them. I didn't know it would take me so long to ink them up! Today is the day.
Why today? Jaydee's challenge at The Paper Players is a theme: Gifting. I've loved the sentiment from Penny Black stamps Peace and Love, referring to the gift of Christ at Christmas. I paired it with the village scene from the Sleigh Ride stamps, and painted the buildings with Distress ink re-inkers. Using Background Basic stencils to mask, I sponged a light night sky studded with a few stars. This card measures 4.25 x 5".
I have challenges to thank for keeping me inspired, keeping me stamping, and sending me to my stash to seek out just the right items.
Besides The Paper Players, I will add this to the challenge at NBUS, and the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
Thanks so very much for your visit. I'm not putting the boxes of Christmas stamps away yet! See you again soon.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
