TSSC343 Bright & Beautiful Christmas



Happy Monday! It's also the 1st day of December!! It's time for another Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge! Here is my sample for this week:



Look at this week's sketch:



I started my card with a Lost Lagoon base followed by a layer of All is Calm DSP. I used the Oval Framelit dies to cut the center ovals. The greeting from the Bright & Beautiful stamp set is stamped in Lost Lagoon ink. 




I have been using so many photopolymer stamp sets lately I have lost trust in myself to accurately stamp, so I pulled out my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (aka SAMJ) to center the greeting inside the oval. Have you used your SAMJ lately? I think most people have a love-hate relationship with the SAMJ - I happen to LOVE mine!


I usually advise against glueing your layers together before stamping. If you should not like your 1st attempt at stamping you can always flip your paper over and re-stamp....but I didn't follow my own advice. The layers, once glued together affected the way the stamp pressed against the cardstock creating a little "echo" on some of the text - but I decided I could live with it. I always tell my customers in card classes - handmade projects are not meant to be PERFECT!



I used the Star Framelit dies to cut a star from the Silver Glimmer Paper. I used a piece of "twine" from my burlap ribbon and glued it behind the star with glue dots. I also added some silver frosted sequins for additional "shine!"






I'm keeping this post short and simple....we have a Christmas Parade to see! Check out my facebook page to see pictures from the parade.
