Happy Monday, everyone!! I hope your week is starting out fabulously!! I had some unexpected time in my craft room today and wanted to use some materials I recently won, as well as enter a couple of friends' challenges.
Even though all the craft stores around here already have their Christmas decorations out, I had a hard time getting into the spirit. I'm enjoying summer too much!! But I did manage to create a Christmas card today :)
The paper is from My Mind's Eye. The shape of the card is a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle die. I didn't have a rectangle die to fit inside, so I hand cut the paper and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye. The banner is made from Spellbinders Nested Lacy Pennants and Nested Pennants, also inked with Tea Dye. The letters in JOY were cut with Spellbinders Donna's Alpha's on corrugated cardboard, then painted with an Adirondack Snow Cap Paint Dabber and sanded once it dried to bring out the ridges. You can't tell in the picture, but I spritzed Tattered Angels Silver Sugar Glimmer Mist for some sparkle. The gems are from Recollections.
The Aqua Splash ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam, which I recently won from Jessica of Jessica's Craft Shaque, and the double bow was made with the 3 Girl Jam Bowmaker (so fun and easy to use!!) I recently won from Gloria of Oma's Crafts!! Thanks again, Jessica and Gloria!! The banner tag is a Spellbinders Nested Pennant die. The button is from my stash, and the hemp fiber from Joann. Hallelujah is from K Andrew Designs Southern Sayings stamp set:
