Van Gogh Tree

The Sweet Shop - SSS36
Splitcoast Technique Challenge - TLC253

It's time for some Christmas thank you cards! I started with this week's sketch from The Sweet Shop. I chose to use Sweet 'n Sassy's charity set Trees of the Field. You can click on the link to read about how it supports Sarah Anderson's family after the tragic loss of her 3yo son Henry a couple months ago.

I covered the tree with dots, Van Gogh style, for Splitcoast's technique challenge. The saying is from Sweet 'n Sassy's Heartfelt Sentiments set. The green ruche paper in the background is from Paper Temptress and it has a delightful texture to it.

I hope all of you enjoyed a Christmas Day full of joy and laughter. For my family, it was a time to reflect on the greatest gift ever given ~ Luke 2:10-11 NASB

And the angel said to them,"Do not be afraid;
for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall
be for all the people; for today in the city of David
there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Pink & Red Snowman

Paper Makeup Stamps: makeup4theweekend06

I love this card by Tangii Crain and it inspired me to make a snowman card using pink and red rather than the blues I always reach for. I used oval nesties to cut out a window in the front of my card. The saying is stamped on a clear acetate sheet and taped to the inside flap to appear over the inside snowflake panel. The designer paper is a sheet I picked up from Hobby Lobby by The Paper Studio. Tangii's buttons are fabulous and I don't have anything similar to use on my card {sob}. I had to settle for some button brads that I had instead. This cute snowman is popped up on dimensionals and I like how his little stick arms stand out on his sides.
