It's time for this month's Waltzingmouse Blog Party!! And because I was very late getting my card done and then felt sick yesterday morning, I ended up creating my card using inspiration from this week's WM sketch and the photo for the February Christmas challenge. I am really that far beyond with my Christmas cards! But now there are only three to go before being caught up!!
 |
| MAY THEME: FELT AND COZY FABRICS |
Here is the sketch created by the wonderful Lynn Mercurio. What a fun design and a real challenge--ended up being a toughie for me!
Below is the inspiration photo. There are so many options to choose from so I used several!
So here is my card!
I used three WM stamp sets and a bunch of dies! The letters, holly leaves and stockings were all cut from felt! The finished card is 5"x 5". The garlands at the top were stamped using the wreath die from Twas the Night Before Christmas and the window and candle are also from that set. The tree and reindeer are from Nordic Winter.
I won't keep you so you can go visit all the other blogs! I know you will find some fabulous inspiration. If you haven't yet ordered any WM stamps, you might want to add a few to your wish list. Claire has such a wonderful selection in her store!
Have fun hopping!
Sharron

Well, Sharon, I certainly hope you are feeling better. It definitely hasn't impacted your crafting talent. This is a wonderful card, and I just want to reach out and cuddle with it. I think my favorite part are those two darling stockings--they look so fun.

Oh Sharron, what have you done here? This is such a gorgeous Christmas card based on the sketch...you have a great eye and came up with such a great idea for the sketch. I love how you stamped the wreath half on and half off the panels and added all those great Nordic Winter images too. Beautiful job.
