Merry Christmas!

I wanted to pop in to say Merry Christmas!

I made this card for my parents and brother

and thought I would share it with you.

I had fun designing it and putting it together.

I've been playing around with a stamping technique

called "Embossed Resist".

I used this technique on the snowflakes.

You can see that I embossed them

with clear embossing powder on white cardstock

and then sponged over them with light blue ink.

It creates a fun effect!

I colored my snowmen with inks and a blender pen.

I feel like such an artist with the results I get doing that!

I trimmed some white cardstock to resemble snow drifts

and set my snowmen over the cardstock

and set a snow layer over them on the bottom.

I had some fun with the ribbon.

I felt like doing something different,

so I did! =)

I just couldn't bring myself to put the greeting on the front,

so I just stamped the inside.

I hope you have a wonderful day enjoying your families

and those close to you.

May the reminder of Christ's birth

and why He humbled Himself

and came to this earth

be ever present with you today and in the New Year.

My mom wrote a wonderful post on the blog

that I co-author with her about "the rest of the story".
