Fa La La Fun

I hope you are getting in the holiday spirit and getting your shopping and card making all finished up.  I am getting close!  

Today, I have two cards focusing on the fun Fa La La verse from Deck the Halls.  

This first card was made using the (new) New Home Greeting and my favorite Script Font Background.  I cased THIS card done by Melissa at Splitcoaststampers.com (she is this week's Featured Stamper and a new member of the Dirty Dozen).  

I hand cut the hearts and painted them with watercolors.  I used the leftover water colors on my background.  Once the hearts dried, I used a Tile Embossing Folder and then sponged over the embossing to bring it out using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I had the love part of the greeting covered so I had to add something to represent the laughter .  I love the  Fa La La La La  verse in Deck the Halls so I cut them out using the small Recollections Alpha die.  I doubled them up for support.  Some faux stitching finished this card up.

The negative of the die cut was laying on my counter so I decided to use it as a stencil and make one more card.  I sponged on several colors of SU! and CTMH inks and made the Fa La background.  Isn't it fun?

I have been wanting to use the new Sticky Note Calendar on an actual sticky note so I tried it and it worked perfectly.  When looking through my stamps to finish this off, the Peeking Gnome jumped right out (literally - lol).  I think he adds a lot of fun to this already fun card.  The greeting is the Small Merry Christmas Greeting cut in half.  Super quick and easy card. 

Hope your week has been going well.  

Hugz,

Nancy
