5 minute Christmas card!
>> Wednesday, December 21, 2016
Welcome!
I hope you're all setting back with nothing to do, just waiting on Santa. Me? Not so much :)
I only had time for a quick card this week...
I started by inking our Decorative Merry Christmas and Happy New Year stamp with green ink on the bottom half and red ink on the top and stamping it on a scrap of white card stock. I cut it out using a nestie oval and used an old fashioned red pen to add a line on the inside of the metal die before removing it.
For my background I stamped our Wood Grain Background using a medium grey ink and then sponged on more of the same ink in between the "boards" and along the edges.
My big decision was to make this a horizontal or vertical card and I went with vertical just because I could make the tails of my red bow longer, but it looked cute horizontal too.
Now if I could only finish my wrapping, baking, decorating as easy as this card :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Merry Christmas!!!

Sue, I love this! Great use of the stamps in a creative way! Love the grey color on the boards and the bow. Super cute Christmas card! Hugz
What a cute card, Sue! I like how you sponged ink in between the wood panels, gives it a realistic look.
The background looks amazing and is perfect for the Merry Christmas sign...Looks just like it's hanging on a front door :)
Beautiful Wood grain background! Your Merry Christmas looks like a decorative plaque for the door!!So pretty!
Love it the perfect country Christmas card.
Wonderful, Sue! Love the woodgrain bg..it sets of the 2 color greeting & red bow perfectly.
