French Horn

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

TGIF! Right?? For many, this was the first week back to school. I know that's usually harder on the parents than the kids. For the moms & dads that means huge schedule rearranging and timing becomes an art form. The kids just have to be kids. And do what kids do. And maybe learn something new at school.

Did I ever tell y'all about the time my two little green "kids" (no, they're not recycled, lol, they are actually green, as in parrots) had a really bad day. Which translates into mom had a really bad day (yes, they call me mama). I mentioned to The Man (aka: hubby) that sometimes I wish they could go off to school, like regular kids. That night I dreamed we sent them away to boarding school. Ahhhh..if only. Can't you just see these two green birds packing their little suitcases?

Anyway, I have a fairly simple Christmas card today, featuring this wonderful French Horn and part of the Christmas Multi Greeting. It was colored with markers and I added some highlights with a gold gel pen. I inked just part of the greeting and stamped it, then die cut with a rectangle die. I had a little punched strip left over from yesterday so tacked it on the bottom after adding a narrow red layer. The poinsettia is also a die cut. It looked a little plain on the bottom so I added an embossed strip and my 5.50 x 4.25 card was finished.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
